Hi All,

I've noticed a few instances of the relativley new "dumaru worm" passing
through amavisd-new and clamd AV.  I thought all exe files were being
blocked by amavis, but in testing I've disovered that contrary to my
conf file comments, " If any mail part matches, the whole mail is
rejected, much like the way viruses are handled", the banned extensions
are not being deleted but sent, and followed by a warning...

BANNED FILENAME ALERT

Our content checker found
    test.exe

The conf file states that...
 "file content type as guessed by 'file' utility, both the raw
#    result from 'file', as well as short type name, classified
#    into names such as .asc, .txt, .html, .doc, .jpg, .pdf,
#    .zip, .exe, ... - see subroutine determine_file_types().
#    This step is done only if $bypass_decode_parts is not true."

And in the conf file 
$bypass_decode_parts = 0;

The system administrator also recieves notification that the email with
banned extension has been delivered.

I'm hoping someone can tell me where this is being switched wrong.

I'm using amavisd-new-20021227-p1 on debian testing distro.

Thanks in advance!

Lewis Shobbrook
