I've got Imail Server 7.06 and after this past week of lovely viruses I've decided to set up file attachment filtering.  After reading IM-20010822-DM01 and IM-20011207-DM01 I've got 8 rules to filter 8 file types and forward them to a user that will autoreply with a failed delivery message:
 
B~name=".*\.exe":bounce
B~name=".*\.com":bounce
B~name=".*\.bat":bounce
B~name=".*\.pif":bounce
B~name=".*\.scr":bounce
B~name=".*\.reg":bounce
B~name=".*\.vbs":bounce
B~name=".*\.shs":bounce
 
The rules do appear to be blocking the entire e-mails as you would expect, but some forwarded e-mails from Outlook and Outlook Express clients are being blocked even though they have no attachments.  Interestingly enough, e-mails forwarded from Eudora clients seem to go through fine.  Any idea why?
 
In the mean time I have temporarily disabled the rules due to complaints, but it's just a matter of ftping the rules.ima back up there.
 
Thanks for the help.
