MailScanner: No programs allowed

Post by peter.barlabas »

Hello!

Sometimes the EFA is blocking .xlsx files.
The message is: "MailScanner: No programs allowed"

How can I fix it?

Hi,
check /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

BTW are you sure that those files are not *.xlsx.exe?

Hi Peter,
the file contains definition for behavior based on the file extension.
This way you can define which file types are allowed to pass and which are not.

Would someone take a look at this PR https://github.com/MailScanner/v5/pull/556 and set the following in MailScanner.conf:

Code: Select all

Archive: Ignore DAT File Executable = yes

Hello!

Sorry the latest answer.
So, when the EFA blocking xlsx file, the complete message is: The message is: "MailScanner: No programs allowed (92000.dat)" or (90000.dat etc).
And really the xlsx content a few bytes size dat file.
I can rename xlsx to zip and I can see the xlsx contain a .dat file which was blocked.

Regards: Péter
