block extensions

Post by paulozanette »

It would like an aid, I obtain to block e-mails with definitive extensions. The Sender receives the notification and the addressee receives a message that the annex of the email was barred in the server.

I want that the server does not deliver this email and that he only orders notification when sender

Somebody can give one help?

Att,
Paulo

1. To block certain extensions, either use the filename ruleset file ("Filename Rules" setting in MailScanner.conf) or enter the extensions you wish to block in the "Deny Filenames" setting. Read the section in MailScanner.conf under "Attachment Filename Checking" for full information.

2. To configure notification to senders, read through the section under the heading "Notifications back to the senders of blocked messages" and modify the settings as you require. By default I don't think the recipient should be notified, but check your settings for "Deliver Disinfected Files", Still Deliver Silent Viruses, and "Deliver Cleaned Messages".

Regards,
Sarah
