Emails released from quarantine get blocked

Post by spellinn »

Mailscanner is blocking some legitimate emails with the following error:

MailScanner: No programs allowed (Templates)

If I release the email, the released email gets re-blocked with the same error and ends up back in quarantine!

How do I get these emails through to the recipient?

The persons domain is configured with "Deliver Cleaned Emails=Yes"

Also, I've changed the recipients domain to use a custom rule file with the line:

Code: Select all

allow   executable      No executables          No programs allowed
However Mailscanner is still blocking these emails. Any suggestions?

Cheers

I know this is not the reply you are seeking but have you tried zipping the .exe (assuming it's an .exe) file and resending?

This may be what you seek:

Unfortunately I'm not the sender, and anyway, Mailscanner still looks inside zip files!

Yes, that looks like it will completely disable file type checking - thanks for the link.
