The question he asked is are regex expressions allowed in the whitelist file. I've never looked into it so don't know, but it seems like it could be a useful feature although extremely easy to abuse.

What he would like to do is replace multiple similar entries that are causing 
FP's:
Zip.Suspect.ExecutableFax-zippwd-1
Zip.Suspect.ExecutableScan-zippwd-1
Zip.Suspect.ExecutablePhoto-zippwd-1
Zip.Suspect.ExecutableCopy-zippwd
Zip.Suspect.ExecutableProduct-zippwd
Zip.Suspect.ExecutablePhoto-zippwd-2
Zip.Suspect.ExecutablePurchaseOrder-zippwd-3
Zip.Suspect.ExecutableAirfare-zippwd-1
Zip.Suspect.MacroDoubleExtension-zippwd-5
Zip.Suspect.WinDoubleExtension-zippwd-2
Zip.Suspect.MiscDoubleExtension-zippwd-8
Zip.Suspect.FileName-zippwd-4

for a regex: Zip.Suspect.*DoubleExtension* so that one entry whitelists the entire class of Zip.Suspect.*DoubleExtension signatures.

The list is small now and not that inconvenient to pull out of the signature file. This one is from the current daily.cld file:

  sigtool -ldaily.cld |grep Zip\.Suspect

There may be more in main.cld - I didn't look.

"To whitelist a specific signature from the database you just add its name
into a local file called local.ign2 stored inside the database directory."

The recent addition of Zip.Suspect.MiscDoubleExtension signatures has been
causing a lot of trouble for us, as it keeps getting flagged for completely
innocuous files such as foo_handle_pdf.js.

I've been adding each signature to our whitelist, such
as Zip.Suspect.MiscDoubleExtension-1, Zip.Suspect.MiscDoubleExtension-2,
etc.  Is there a simple way to whitelist Zip.Suspect.MiscDoubleExtension-*
?   I tried using a regex in the whitelist file to no avail.


​Thanks,​
