Subject: Re: [exim] How to block the mails which contain .exe inside a zip file
Thanks Duane,

I have installed Clamav in my server still i am not able to stop the
mails containing .exe file inside the zip file using Clamav. Basically i
have tested it with a setup .exe file which is not a virus. and exim is
even not stopping it...

I have got one more method to do the same from a post, and it is working
for me.

Put these lines in exim.conf

*deny    log_message = DENY: ZIP with Binary Attachment found**
**        message = DENY: We don't allow Binary files in Zip files \n \**
**          If you have questions please contact at 09282192727**
**        demime = zip**
**        condition = ${run\**
**                  {/etc/exim/check_zip $message_id}\**
**                  {0}{1}}*


create a script at /etc/exim/check_zip

*#!/usr/bin/ksh**
**###############################################################**
**# Locates an zip file and looks for extensions that end in**
**# .exe .pif .com .cmd and .bat**
**###############################################################**
**# Location of files**
**###############################################################**
**SCANDIR='/var/spool/exim/scan/'**
**UNZIP='/usr/bin/unzip'**
**###############################################################**
**cd ${SCANDIR}/$1**
**for i in `ls | egrep -i *.zip`**
**do**
**if [ `$UNZIP -l $i | egrep -i '(.exe$|.com$|.cmd$|.pif$|.bat$)' | wc -l`**
**-gt 0 ];**
**then**
**exit 1**
**fi**
**done**
**exit 0*

But I will really Appreciate if some one can do that with Clamav.

Heartly thanks to Duane for help.. :)

Anant
