[Declude.JunkMail] Exclude BABEXT Notify for COM

2005-03-21 Thread Don Schreiner
I am getting a lot of postmaster rejects from bad addresses after turning on BANEXT for COM attachments. I would like to exclude notifications on my BANnotify.EML file. Can I do this by inserting SKIPIFBANEXTNAMEHAS COM at the top of EML file? I am just guessing based on feature to use

There seems to be a bug in all versions where a bogus COM file is still bounced as a banned extension (unlike other 'bogus' types that are detected). The workaround is to add SKIPIFEXT COM to the top of your bannotify.eml, however this will stop all bounces for COM files regardless of whether

David, I posted some log snippets last week on the Declude Virus list that show what is happening. Yes, the notifications are being sent in error. These COM files are being detected by Declude Virus as "Bogus", and the proper behavior is for the bogus identification to override the banned
