[4.021] Spam filter not stopping file attachments.

Simon Shaw
I have blocked all ZIP and PIF files in the SMTP proxy page.  I see many getting blocked but some are still getting through that shouldn't.

The senders are not in an exempted domain.  Any ideas ?

    My bad.  I just had a close look at our mail servers logs.  The files were getting through directly to our mail server machine.  The sender was faking they were from our domain and were sending to recipients within our own domain...  So the anti-spam functions on the mail server weren't catching it either since it thought they were internal emails.  Luckily the anti-relaying features were stopping any spam getting out, but they were quite happily spamming internally.  Grrrrrr.

    I added some new packet filter rules, now the mail server will only accept mail coming in from ASL.
