Extension blocking skipping not work if the blocked file extension is inside zip file

Jeremy Lo over 8 years ago

The target is to send an outgoing email with an zip email attachment with .js file inside.

Then receive an auto reply email from UTM 9

Your message to the following recipients was quarantined:

quarantine reason: File Extension (js)

Please contact your IT administrator for further assistance.

The strange thing is if the .js file is not inside the zip file. The email won't be block.

I already set the Extension blocking exception. What else can I do?

Hi, Jeremy, and welcome to the UTM Community!

Are you saying that an email with a .js inside a zip file is blocked while one that simply has a .js attached is not blocked?

Cheers - Bob

Hello Bob,

Yes. If the .js file is not inside the compressed file (zip, tar, etc.). It not block.

As the email was received from do-not-notify@fw-notify.net. I'm sure this was caused by the UTM9.

You mentioned an Exception - please show a picture of the Edit of that. Also, a picture of the email that should have been blocked and the lines from the SMTP log where it was allowed to pass.

Cheers - Bob
