Mail Filtering Execuitable attachment

It makes more sense to stop > the viruses on the mail server. It stops outgoing viruses too. I having the same setup with using procmail, all mails are filtering if there is any attachment with executable extensions & any mail containing "<SCRIPT>" will move to "virus" folder. the .procmailrc is like this *********** :0 HB * ^Content-Disposition: attachment; *filename=".*\.(exe|vbs|shs|com|pif|bat|scr|hta)" virus :0 HB * \<script\> virus *********** but SirCam doesn't mind it, it is coming directly to inbox with ".pif", ".bat" extensions. If I forward the same once more, it is filtering. and any other messages with the said condition is filtering. why this SirCam is escaping procmail ? any Idea, the mail header containing these lines. "Content-Type: application/mixed; name=renewal_calls_sifynet_dec1.xls.pif Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=renewal_calls_sifynet_dec1.xls.pif " please let me know is the .procmailrc needs any other modifications. Waiting for the some suggestions. (Attn. Philip, Many thanks for your previous valuable mails...) regards Benoy

Re:My two bits about the Aazad and the Commercial

Dude, I guess we need to take this disuccusion somewhere else eh? Cause I guess we cud go on 4 ever like this :) Jus need to point out though, that I found the RMS bit quit unneccesary cause the discussion is not bout RMS or his personality, but about his philosophy. I could'nt care less if RMS was gay or a murderer, or ne thin else for that matter. I dont like _him_, I like his _philosophy_ cause it is _very_ relevant to *me* and to the "new world" as well I hope. >I appreciate & respect what RMS has done in terms of >writing software. But I do not subscribe to his philosophy >entirely. So u see, here is our basic disagreement, u respect n like the dude, whereas i dig his philosophy entirely! tripin on life 24x7, Sandeep --- "The world is the house of the strong.

Linux on Palm
by Yogesh Ginde 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

Hi, A "demo" version of Linux DA for Palm is being distributed at http://www.linuxda.com. However, the developers are not yet offering the kernel source code (the download page says "Coming Soon"). Does this amount to a violation of the GPL? Is the distributor of a modified GPLed software compelled to make available the modified source immediately? -YoGeSh

forwarding in Qmail
by noel seq 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

>From: "Tushar Burman" <tb(a)freeos.com> >with any specific forwarding instructions for mail. It is exactly as i >explained - user(a)foo.com /is/ user(a)bar.com. And yes, user(a)foo.com (or >@bar.com) is a POP account for each user. However, it need not be this way. >user(a)bar.com may well be an alias to multidrop(a)bar.com, which would really >be multidrop(a)foo.com so you don't need separate POPs for each user. O.k. i got a solution. Pop accounts can receive mail abc(a)foo.com as well as abc(a)mail.foo.com so whenever i send a mail to xyz(a)foo.com which is not a local user, it searches for the .qmail-default entries which forwards it as xyz(a)mail.foo.com Since i was having some problem sening it out to the net directly, i used an smtp server in my smtproutes file which did the needful. As the pop account recognises xyz(a)mail.foo.com i do not have to create another domain / sub domain or pop accounts/ aliases or forward it or anything else. Thanx for everyhting.
