Exim blocking e-mails

[Trel]

whenever someone tries to send me an e-mail with certain attachments, it's gets bounced back to them

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

trel@krahs-emag.com
This message has been rejected because it has
a potentially executable attachment "Google.url"
This form of attachment has been used by
recent viruses or other malware.
If you meant to send this file then please
package it up as a zip file and resend it.

and it's not conveinent to zip it because .url is the extension used when you use "File->Send->Link by e-mail" from internet explorer
and it blocks many other extensions, including exe.

Actually, its safer to block anything thats not a zip.
How ever I will check security settings to see if I can come up with anything.

Actually, Found where it detects.
/etc/antivirus.exim

Search ZIP then look for things to change, remember to make a backup incase.

Thanks,

What do you mean a user end?

Like download it to your computer and change it.
Directly change it, or not a server admin and want to cahnge it your self.

Please specify
Thanks,

like not a server admin and only have access to the actual cpanel user end.

Only server admins can do this, sence its a global thing.

is there any way by which I can disable this check for one more selected domains. For these domains, I would like to receive mails with any extention.

[reddrake]

WOW, Old post. I don't think it can be done domain wise. Since it is a global setting, how ever I will look around for you.

In the antivirus.exim, it use IF loop to check the extensions of attachment.

You can try to write somethings like:

if($header_content-type:matches "........")
and not($header_sender: contains "@xxxx.com" or $reply_address contains "@xxx.com") then
fail text ....
....
seen finish
end if


to enable the filter for which is not for specific domain

Thanks for your time. I got that fixed that day itself.

just need to add this much there.

if $message_headers: contains "@domain.com"
then finish
endif

Cheers

This will disable check for inbound and outbound mails for this domain. If you need to bypass only incoming,

$header_to: contains will do

Thanks for the great tip. Just 1 Q: Should it be

then endif

or

seen endif?
