I just added zip, bat, and cmd to NASTEXT and am now catching a
ton of .zip infested messages that I wasn't before. Here's the
scoop: According to this site:
<http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100983>
The extensions are pif, exe, scr, zip, bat, cmd.
Here's what my old NASTYEXT was:
NASTYEXT = "${NASTYEXT:-(exe|hta|pif|scr|shs|vb[se]|ws[fh]|(doc|txt|xls)\.)}"
And here it is revised:
NASTYEXT =
"${NASTYEXT:-(exe|zip|bat|cmd|hta|pif|scr|shs|vb[se]|ws[fh]|(doc|txt|xls)\.)}"
I quarantine the entire messages so I'm watching them and making
sure I don't catch any good mail, especially since some of this
filtering is for other people.
I'll update my Procmail Quick Start so there's a blurb about
this. And I'll blog about it too! (but hardly anyone reads my
blog...)
Thanks,
Nancy
