Hi Tobias,

Schürjann, Tobias <Tobias.Schuerjann@???> (Fr 11 Dez 2015 10:56:51 CET):
> I'm using two exim4 MTAs in our DMZ to route mails between our internal exchange-server and an external smarthost. We are using the acl_check_content to reject unwanted file extensions. After adding another extension (zip) we tested the config and noticed, that the acl only works sometimes. In the rejectlog I can see a few mails that got rejected with the message: "This message contains an unwanted file extension (zip)", so the acl works, but most of the Mails are not rejected although they contain zip files.


The is no 'acl_check_content' per se. This seems to be a custom local
configuration.

> Are there conditions, when the acl can't be applied? Is it possible that files with the zip extension doesn't get recognized as a zip according to their mime information? We are using a smarthost for all outgoing/incoming mails as we don't have an unfiltered internet-connection, maybe some kind of encrypted connection/TLS are the problem? Is it possible that mails get accepted according to the sender/other acls, so that the acl_check_content doesn't get applied? The really strange thing throwing me off is: it does work, only not for all mails.

It should work. Maybe you can keep such message that should have
be rejected. (See the 'no_mbox_unspool').

And, maybe you should move to acl_smtp_mime, instead of using the
obsoleted demime extension.
