Hi,

Hopefully someone on this list can help me out. I am trying to set up 
mime-header checking to only allow through emails with a particular file 
extension, that is I want to block any email without this attachment type or 
any other attachment type.

I have created the map file with postmap and it picks up my regexp ok, when I 
send emails through and look in the mail log though it warns on all emails and 
it also appears to be matching on other lines in the header such as 
Content-Transfer-Encoding, below are the regexp's I have tried and also the 
extract from my mail log.

I would be grateful if anybody is able to offer some assistance.

mime_header_checks

#!/^\s*Content-(Disposition|Type).*name\s*=\s*"{1,1}.+\.(ecf)"{1,1}\s*$/!/name=[^>]*\.(ecf)/
              WARN Would normally reject this message
#!/^[[:space:]]*content-(type|disposition):.*name[[:space:]]*=.*\.(ecf)/
#             WARN Bad attachment file name extension

/var/log/maillog extract
