Mailscanner reject attachment

[allenhui]

One or more of the attachments (mrb.pdf) are on
the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and will not have
been delivered.

Consider renaming the files or putting them into a "zip" file to avoid
this constraint.


How to i edit the mailscanner for the acceptable attachments list?

/usr/mailscanner/etc/filename.rules.conf

However, be default, PDF files are not blocked which would suggest that you added it at some time

I have similar problem with .zip files.
My filename.rules.conf has:

# .url is arguably dangerous, but I can't just ban it...
allow \.url$ - -
allow \.vcf$ - -
allow \.txt$ - -
allow \.zip$ - -


What's wrong with that?

Thanks

What problems do you have with zip files?

Do you still use /etc/antivirus.exim and if so, have you checked that it's not that causing you problems?

[asmar]

I cannot receive any zip files. The Mailscanner blocks all of them.
The server has default cPanel installation.
I haven't modify anything apart the fact that I installed Mailscanner.

Thanks

So, your /etc/antivirus.exim file is empty is it?

So, your /etc/antivirus.exim file is empty is it?

ops....it wasn't.
I edit that file and comment everything.
Now is working great.

Is that the proper way? Just to empty that file?

Thanks a lot

Well, you could just remove the file type that you're having problems with it with (i.e. .zip files), but since I use MailScanner which does such scanning anyway, I just empty that file out. There are other ways, but that's just as effective as any.

Thanks a lot Jonathan.
