Or, if you have control of the your mailserver, rejecting Win32 executables at the MTA level. I'm not sure where I got the following from (I didn't write it) but the file below helps Postfix keep viruses off my system. It's probably similar to the MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE eval test in SA. Probably the easiest and safest thing for Hendrik to do is to set score MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE 4.9 Anyone who has a legitimate reason for mailing you a Win32 executable should also know enough to put it in a zip archive first. It's inconvenient but the cost of zipping it first is minor compared to the cost of not filtering Win32 binaries. hth, -- Bob # /^Content-(?:Disposition:\s+attachment;|Type:).*\b(?:file)?name\s*=.*\.(?: ad[ep] | asd | ba[st] | chm | cmd | com(?=$|") | cpl | crt | dll | eml | exe | hlp | hta | in[fs] | isp | jse? | lnk | md[betw] | ms[cipt] | nws | ocx | ops | pcd | p[ir]f | reg | sc[frt] | sh[bsm] | swf | url | vb[esx]? | vxd | ws[cfh] | \{[[:xdigit:]]{8}(?:-[[:xdigit:]]{4}){3}-[[:xdigit:]]{12}\} )\b/x REJECT Windows executables not allowed #__END__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
