I saw some talk in the archives about this but since the virus writers have
forced a tighter file banning policys because of zip files are there any
plans to add support for more granular control over banned files on a per
user basis?
We are investigating the idea. It would likely require quite a bit of
work, however.
For example we need loan documents sent as exe files allowed through to
specific users, zipping the files was the standard practice up until the
past few weeks. It is great being able to ban files inside of zips to stop
the movies and audio files from slipping through but now this cuases
problems for the media and advertising people.
So while we got an excellent new feature it created the need to allow
bypassing on a per user basis.
Whats our chances of seeing something like this?
My guess is that it won't be happening in the near future.
However, it's important to remember that once a virus scanner has updated
its virus definitions to include a new virus, any .ZIP files with .EXE's
within them *will* get caught. So blocking .EXE's within .ZIP files is
only necessary to be protected against new viruses until new definitions
are available to detect them.
