Double “dot” Attachments
January 13, 2007
We’ve made a configuration change to the mail server to allow double “dot” extensions on attachments, e.g. “filename.sfh.doc” through to users. These were previously rejected by the virus scanner, since they sometimes represent attempts to disguise viruses as other filetypes. If the change results in more viruses getting through to users, we may have to disable it again in the future.
