Thread: Whitelist for virus filtering




Whitelist for virus filtering
user name

Hello everyone,

we are using Postfix with AMaViS-new to filter all incoming
and outgoing
emails for spam and virus messages. One of our applications
(unfortunately closed source and for accounting purposes)
attaches an
base64 encoded asc file to the message, which is wrongly
recognised as
'exe-ms' file and is banned due to our configuration.

Is there a way to set up a recipient based whitelist
mechanism? I just
found a whitelist mechanism for spam handling. Our
application send the
email only to one address.

Perl Version is 5.008008
AMaViS-new version is 2.3.3 (20050822)
Postfix version is 2.2.9

Regards,
Jason

Surely this is being blocked as a banned attachment type 
and not as a virus.
Add the recipient to the amavisd.conf 
banned_files_lovers_maps and maybe some of the other 
*_lovers_maps for good measure.
