Why the attachment being blocked?
Posted on 2011-03-03
This is using MailScanner on CentOs. There is an external party tried to send us, and in return, mail being bounced back with the error messages as follows:
This is a message from the MailScanner E-Mail Virus Protection Service
--------------------------
The original e-mail attachment "%112233aaccbb.htm"
is on the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and has been
replaced by this warning message.

Hi santoshmotwani,
Filename.allow.all.conf:
# This ruleset will allow all attached files to pass
allow .* - -
For filename.rules.conf, see the attached
filename.rules.conf.txt

At a quick glance it seems that it is hitting the CLSID rule:
# Deny filenames containing CLSID's
deny \{[a-hA-H0-9-]{25,}\} Filename trying to hide its real type. Files containing CLSID's are trying to hide their real type
Examples:
A977FF0C-8757-4E76-8533-48
000209FF-0000-0000-C000-00
Can the file be renamed and sent?
