Released bad content gets reblocked

Post by northwindit »

Hello all,

My company gets file attachments from government agencies. Some of these incoming emails have attachments that have multiple periods in the file name which the /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf will block. This is really good in most cases, but for the few legitimate emails that get blocked I would attempt to release them, only for them to get reblocked again upon release. I whitelisted the postmaster address which the release comes from, but even that gets blocked.

So for now i have removed the file name rule and allow through all attachments with multiple periods in the file name. However how would i go about enforcing the rules, but allow a released message to go through regardless of what mailscanner found? I have disabled user releases, only i can do it so i trust myself to release legit emails :)
