Hi,

If you allready have a list of executables extentions you block then you can 
also use the option to block just files with those extentions within ZIPs using 
BANZIPEXTS ON

But... if there is a new virus in an extention you do not block *and* it is 
sent via an encrypted ZIP/RAR.........

  Subject: [Declude.Virus] EZIPs


  Some of my clients need to be able to receive password-protected ZIP 
  files and I'm wondering if people on this list ban the EZIP extension 
  outright, or if they allow it but ban all the other extensions that 
  could be harmful from within a EZIP file.

  Declude's virus.cfg file states that
  # The BANEXT EZIP line blocks all encrypted .ZIP and .RAR files, which 
  is necessary
  # to be fully protected against viruses (since it is impossible to 
  detect a well-
  # constructed virus within an encrypted .ZIP or .RAR file)

  Is this true?  Do you need to ban it outright?  or are the other bans 
  adequate?

  Thanks.

  Kevin
