I thought .vcs was for virtual cards?

i.e. Palm Desktop (the windows program for PalmOS handhelds) and others, etc..etc... (or was that .vcd?)

Anyway - just a thought..

I see that .vcs is listed in filter_bad_filename.

One of my users is subscribed to a mailing list and there
are often mails to the list with attachments called vcal.vcs.
Because we reject these at the gateway, the list management
software is getting tetchy and threatening to remove him from the
list.


If anyone can tell me what the danger of these files is,
I'd appreciate it, then I can decide whether to risk
letting them in.

Does the user need to receive the .vcs attachments?
If not, why not just quarantine all .vcs attachments rather than bouncing the email.

.vcs does not appear on webopedia's list of known extensions:

so it can't be a commonly associated extension.
