I saw a few weeks ago about a thread discussion that talked about
the 'catching' of double layered extension files (i.e. file.shs.txt),
however I couldn't find it in the archive. I wanted to see if these
indeed get caught as banext (i.e. shs) , as I think this maybe a dull
point if they contain a virus as the scanner should catch it and thus tip
Declude to quarantine it, however my thoughts were if it was not a virus
file. Thanks for the info.
If there is a virus, the E-mail will get caught.
If there is no virus, but the extension is banned (for example, a file
named "file.txt.shs" will get banned if you use "BANEXT SHS").
If you do not ban the file extension, and no virus is detected, the E-mail
will be allowed through. This is the part where some people have requested
a change, so that you would be able to ban any file with double
extensions. However, this gets tricky to implement with such filenames as
"yahoo.com.url" and ones with 4-character extensions ("file.jpeg.exe"
versus "my.program.exe").
