i thought like this, but where in hell should i define it i found several mime convs on the system perl has one , cups apache etc... , no idea which one is the the right to use it with vscan.

yes ,your right but i think this is not the real problem in this case cause in our case ( the outlook hell case ?*g ) we want to exclude one file type and every win client should have ( must ) a antivirus solution have installed by its own anyway.So a virus should be found even vscan fails.
So its better to have this filetype excluded and the pst working with outlook typical redirected by group policy to the users home share to make it work with roaming profiles and have the rest risk that a virus stealth itself as pst file. Cause for now there is no other solution as not to use vscan on the whole share, which seems to me the badest option. | | Anyway, samba-vscan 0.3.7 will most likely ship with a feature to | exclude files from scanning based on a regexp.

thx for making this clear, perhaps i will give 0.3.7 a try on my test system, on produktion i will wait till it is maintained by suse, but its good to here that the solution allready exists.
