it is suggested to drop .pif and .scr attachments by this code:
> # drop all pif messages -zrd 8/19/2003
> $drop_exts = '(pif|scr)';
> if (re_match($entity, $drop_exts)) {
> md_graphdefang_log("SLU dropping file $fname from $RelayAddr");
> return action_discard();
> }
As I discovered, that code will discard any attachments whose name
contains the substrings "scr" or "pif". We have dropped the following
attachments erroneously today: descr.doc, manuscript.doc. Bad, bad !
I hope the code in
http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/2003-September/007768.html
works correctly. Any comments ?
