Hello,
I really like this list, ever since I got good answers to some beginners
questions of mine. Now I have some more questions. Aplologise for the length
in advance.
I need to scan all incoming mail and be very restrictive about what comes
in. (Company policy) I've used the _very_nice_ Generic Windows Executable
Content filter found on
www.exim.org . Nice filter for most people, but not
for those using non-ascii characters in filenames.
Like, here, in Croatia, we often use ISO-8859-2 for encoding. When I create
a file named Pročitajte.doc (wonder what this will look like for people with
mail readers that don't support ISO), Outlook makes a header like this:
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="=?iso-8859-2?Q?Pro=E8itajte=2Edoc?="
The same happens when I have an executable, Čiča.exe (if you can't read
this, that is an exe file with ISO characters in name, nothing unusual)
becomes:
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="=?iso-8859-2?B?yGnoYS5leGU=?="
As you may notice, no trace of "exe" is left around and the SYSTEM FILTER
DOESN'T RECOGNISE it.
If anyone has any idea how to filter executables with non-ascii names -
help!
