'Banned filename'? ClamAV doesn't do banned filenames.
So that's Amavis blocking banned file names, then?
I have no problems continuing to scan within archives, and I agree that's how many viruses are now being distributed. But I can't even send password-protected zip files, if they have any banned file names inside. And the email instructions sent automatically (by Amavis and/or ClamAV) say password-protected zip files will get around the banned file name.
So my real question is, what if people want to email a file on the banned list? (Y'know, files like *.exe, *.pif, *.bat, *.scr, *.vbs, etc) I see archives still show you the names of files inside, even if password protected.
I guess I'd rather not just stop banned files altogether. It seems sensible to block files of these types. Requiring a password-protected zip seemed like a decent way to handle it, to me. Agreed?
From my /etc/amavisd.conf: qr'.\.(exe|vbs|pif|scr|bat|cmd|com|cpl)$'i, # banned extension - basic
Or is this just a question for the Amavis guys instead? ;)
Thanks for all the quick replies!!
