Block .arj files with exe in

Post by mikemachin »

I have seen an increase in .arj files with a .exe file inside the archive - is there a way to block these or at least scan the exe for virus?

I haven't altered any settings as yet as am unsure what sections I need to be looking at

Check /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf ... add

Code: Select all

deny   \.arj$                  -       -
Then restart the service:

Code: Select all

#service MailScanner restart
And I think that will do the trick.
