Hello,

New files of office 2007, using extension docx is blocked by default from mailscanner.

example:

MailScanner: Attempt to hide real filename extension

(document.xml.rel)

What is the best solution to not block this file, but without remove checking for hide filename extensions?

Thanks

Try adding this line just above the double file extensions rule in /usr/mailscanner/etc/filename.rules.conf:

# Allow .rel files
allow \.rel$ - -

Be sure to put tabs in between the fields.

Regards,

This solution didn't work for me in all docx cases:

# Allow .rel files
allow \.rel$ - -

But this worked:

# Allow friggin MS Office hidden files
allow \.x(ml)?\d{0,}\.rel$

Don't forget to tab fields and then restart MailScanner.
