Double extension files
Posted: 09 Feb 2020 18:23
I know there has been a lot of discussion on double extension files
I'm not 100% sure what the status is
Prefer not to completely disable it unless necessary
Most of the time double extension files is not a problem - even "...docx.pdf" once I explain the danger of possible hidden files
Most users understand
Last week a file with "January report %2008.pdf" was BLOCKED because of double extension!!
Why is % treated as an extension??
(1) is there a up-to-date recommendation on tweaks so ...docx.pdf type files are not blocked but ....docx.exe are?
(2) is it possible to disable the rule for a specific email domain - I have 6 domains on the filter
(since the number is small I can work with variation ie. allow only on domain...)
