See http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?UnquarantineMessage http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?QuarantineManager In addition, I have a custom unquarantining methodology. It probably won't work for many people because users are funny about admins touching "their" attachments, but it works for my office: I ruthlessly quarantine based on extensions http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?BadFilenameExtensions I've modified mimedefang-filter's filter($$$$) subroutine as follows: # return action_drop_with_warning("An attachment named $fname was removed from this document as it\nconstituted a security hazard. If you require this do cument, please contact\nthe sender and arrange an alternate means of receiving i t.\n"); # change to my $security_message = $global_security_message . "\n" . "This attachment was named \"" . $fname . "\"\n\n" . "Quarantine info:\n" . "unquarantine " . $hostname_for_security . " " . get_quarantine_dir() . " " . "PART." . (($QuarantineCount || 0) + 1) . ".BODY " . "\"" . $fname . "\"\n"; return action_quarantine($entity, $security_message); which appends an "unquarantine" command ($hostname_for_security is the FQDN of the host) specially designed to extract only the quarantined attachment On my workstation I have PuTTY and a specially crafted unquarantine.bat: @echo off set unquarserver=%1 set unquardirectory=%2 set unquarbodypart=%3 set unquarfilename=%4 rem whole command should be copy/pasted from warning message set unquaruser=(my username here) echo Deleting and recreating working directory... rmdir /s /q "C:\unquarantine_email" mkdir C:\unquarantine_email echo Retrieving %unquarfilename% from %unquarserver%... call "C:\Program Files\putty\pscp.exe" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:%unquardirectory%/%unquarbodypart% C:\unquarantine_email\%unquarbodypart% echo Copying C:\unquarantine_email\%unquarbodypart% as %unquarfilename%... C: cd \unquarantine_email copy %unquarbodypart% %unquarfilename% echo Make ABSOLUTELY SURE it's not a virus before sending it on! echo Pressing a key will open the C:\unquarantine_email folder... pause explorer C:\unquarantine_email When a user's attachment is quarantined, they forward me the quarantine notice. I copy and paste the command line to a cmd.exe shell, which retrieves the attachment for me. Then I email the attachment back to the user. -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer perl -e"map{y/a-z/l-za-k/;print}shift" "Jjhi pcdiwtg Ptga wprztg," _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.roaringpenguin.com MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
