I try to use the same filter as you have explained, but it's not
working.
:0 B:
* ^Content-Type: (application/octet-stream|audio/x-wav)
* ^.*name=.*\.(bat|com|pif|scr|exe)
/dev/null

kenny:
kenny: I have this procmail filter for stopping "dangerous"
attachments:-
kenny:
kenny: :0w B:
kenny: * ! ^FROM_DAEMON
kenny: * !^X-Loop: virusfilter
kenny: * ^Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
kenny: * name=.*\.(pif|bat|vbs|js)
kenny: | ($FORMAIL -r \
kenny: -i"From: post(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com" \
kenny: -i"Subject: Returned email - file type rejected" \
kenny: -A"X-Loop: virusfilter" ; \
kenny: echo "This is an automated reponse .. blah ...blah") \
kenny: | $SENDMAIL
kenny:
kenny: Question - what actually happens to the email?! - I've tried
putting
kenny: /dev/null or a mailbox onto the end of the filter but it is
always
kenny: "skipped"
Im no procmail expect, but that seems like a lot just to trash potential
viruses. I use this:
:0 B:
* ^Content-Type: (application/octet-stream|audio/x-wav)
* ^.*name=.*\.(bat|com|pif|scr|exe)
/dev/null
Besides, why you would want to keep the message if it was from the
Mailer-Daemon? It's still a virus.
kenny: Also, how do I avoid "Couldn't determine implicit lockfile" ?
Try :0w B instead. I assume because there is no file/folder at the
end
of the ruleset, is the reason why a lockfile cannot be obtained.
