Hello,
Today I found 2 issues and I hope that you can help me to solve it.
1) If MailScanner gets file with spaces in filename e.g. “Purchase Order.rar” it thinks that file name is just "Purchase" and do not unpack it. Today one of my users got virus on his PC in this way.
2) If you have 2 identical exe files in to separate archives, MailScanner will block only one of them, the rest will get to your network.
I hope that you know how to deal with it, because I could not find any useful in Google.
Thank you

I found solution how to block files without extension, but it also block files with spaces in filename. So it's not very good.

1) Is fixed in the latest MailScanner 5.0.6-5 (eFa 3.0.2.5)
2) Try the latest version and report back whether this issue still exists.

Thank you for replay. Latest MailScanner installation fixed my first problem.
But the 2nd problem is still actual.

Thank you. Can you provide me some steps? I want to reproduce this exact problem and inform MailScanner devs about this one.
Re: Some dangerous files can go trought
I've put notepad.exe in archive named "notepad.rar" using winrar 5.50 and made a copy of this archive "notepad - Copy.rar". Then I send this 2 archives in one mail trough my mail gateway. "notepad.rar" was blocked and "notepad - Copy.rar" was not.
