>I have read the GUI, over and over, and over and over.

reading is step one - think about is step two - leads in to understand, 
step three :):):)

again:

If there is a matching entry found in UserAttach - the entry is used and 
ALL level definitions are ignored.

>From what I'm reading they're OR'ed together but is the action to
allow or block.

ASSP is a spam filter to BLOCK bad attachment. Blocking has and had the 
higher priority.

This is the simple logic behind

BLOCK IF
(has blockrule and extension matches  blockrule)
or
(has goodrule and extension not matches good rule)

The used rules are 'OR' combined from the recipient and the sender, if 
both matches a rule.

All these facts are perfecltly technical described in the GUI! Yes the 
description is short, but it exactly points out all required facts.

If anybody is not able to understand 

"If the user name matches for a sender or recipient and a (in/out) regex 
definition is found in this file"
and
"all level definition are overwritten for this mail"
and
"will be logical OR combined according to the mail flow"

I can not help. Use the old way (level definitions).

Betreff:        Re: [Assp-test] AFC Plugin, UserAttach. Encrypted zip



I'm sorry to irritate you, really I am, but I have read the GUI, over and
over, and over and over.  Seeing it here doesn't help.  To me - very
technical, English speaker, decades of experience - the GUI is not clear.
Maybe if I had a better understanding of the intent of your writing / how
ASSP works here I could help to re-write (just) the description for this
section.

"No rule, no check" is a start for complete understanding, but the gui 
also
says " If the user name matches for a sender or recipient and a (in/out)
regex definition is found in this file, *all level definition are
overwritten* for this mail."    I'm not sure if what you wrote in the 
email
and the gui contradict each other or not.  For an example of my confusion,
if there is a good-*out* rule only for a user and no good-in, bad-in, or
bad-out , does that mean that the level 1 block rules are overwritten and
that user may only send the attachment types specified in good-out, but 
may
not receive ANY attachments, or are is attachment type now accepted 
because
there wasn't a good-in or bad-in specified for that user?

What if the receiving user has .doc allowed but the sending user has .doc
blocked?  From what I'm reading they're OR'ed together but is the action 
to
allow or block.  Block the attachment if it's a .doc OR allow it if it's a
.doc   Which has priority?

And last for now, given the level 1 line that I provided, shouldn't a zip
containing a DLL file be removed from the email?  It's not.

Thanks again.
