Only partial System Filtering of exe attachments
What am I missing from using the system_filter to stop all exe attachments?
First is a bounced message, however the second header listing is one that
still gets through all the time...

[.Note I had to change exe to axe in order to send to this mailing list]

Do I have to duplicate the search for executable content to also look at
something else?

<FONT>Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by
corrupting your files.<br>
Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV
software can't detect or clean it.<br>
We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.<br>
You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your
PC.<br>
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV
monitor maybe cry when you run it.<br>
If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.<br>
If you have any question,please <a href=3Dmailto:carolann@mostreferred.com>mail

I don't want me or any of our users getting any executable content.
I don't understand exim 4.0X nearly enough to rewrite the system_filter
to catch the type of attachments I have been getting recently.
