Hi,

is it possible to block attachments in emails on the scalix server? For example an attachment in jpg or gif format.

Thanks!!

You can filter out attachments on the incoming unix g/w as follows:

1. Edit /var/opt/scalix/sys/mime.types and add the following:

   Code: Select all

   2188<tab>b<tab>*/*<tab>wmf
   just under the line

   Code: Select all

   # Wildcards must go at the start of the list
   Obviously, replace <tab> with a TAB character.
2. Edit /var/opt/scalix/sys/general.cfg and add the line

   Code: Select all

   SR_FILTER_TYPES_OF_ATT=2188
3. Restart the unix g/w and router

   Code: Select all

   omoff -d0 unix router
omon unix router

This tells the unix g/w that anything which has a .wmf extension should be given Scalix filecode 2188 which happens to mean virus infected file. The general.cfg setting tells the Service Router that any attachment with filecode 2188 is to be removed.

If you want to add more extensions, you can have up to 5 comma separated on the same line after which you need to create a new line with the same data but different extensions.

how to if i want scalix remove attachment (jpg, 3gp or or something like that) only but message body still can send/receive by user.
is it possible in scalix??

Please tell me..

Hi,

MIMEdefang can do this - not a Scalix feature.You need to front-end Scalix with sendmail + MIMEdefang.
