RE: [qmailtoaster] Problems with PDF and XLS

2006-10-30 Thread Dairenn Lombard

badmimetypes is just for qmail.

What is likely filtering your XLS/PDF files is clamav itself.
I myself would be curious to know if it's possible to get clamav,
however, to make an acception for attachments with a .PDF extention?
Those should always be innoculous.

Subject: [qmailtoaster] Problems with PDF and XLS


Hi, my users are complaining of not being able to receive some PDF's or
XLS files.

I have tried removing the MIME from badmime types and rebuilding the
database, however this and even hashing out all the different MIME types
still does not allow the files to come through.

The strange thing is this only happens occasionally, and is pretty
random.
Am I missing something?

Can anyone suggest anywhere else this may be occuring?Id really like to
restore the MIME database back to its original form, to block zips and
so forth.

Look at the badloadertypes file. The first 2 entries in there gave me 
false positives on PDF files (the second one), and the first one gave me 
false positive on ZIP files created with Winzip containing Peachtree 
data. The problem with badlosertypes is that the hash in there can match 
ANY portion of the MIME (attachment). Not just the first few chars.

Thanks for the ideas - I have hashed out the top 2 in the badloadertype, and have reinstated the badmimetype, and will see how it runs.Jake Vickers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shelly wrote: Hi, my users are complaining of not being able to receive some PDF's  or XLS files.
