I'll report back if and when things clarify a little. - John Maybe the message came to you via some other route? I think it has to do with the way SpamAssassin and ClamAV are integrated with Mailman as handlers. I think they can't handle the attachment. This whole thing really bothered me a couple of days ago because it appeared that after this mp3 attachment was sent, then SA and ClamAV never processed any further email until they were restarted. However, this observation is no longer reproducible (thankfully!), so things are OK. I still don't know why the attachment passes now, when content filtering has been OFF all along. Oh well - CASE CLOSED for now. Thanks for the discussion. - John -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: [Mailman-Users] SOLVED Re: mp3 attachment
Anyway, assuming your filtering is currently set up with filter_mime_types empty and some entries in pass_mime_types, you need to add audio/mpeg and if not there already, multipart/mixed to pass_mime_types. That should work for all correct mp3 attachments. Actually, solved might not be quite accurate. Since my content filtering was turned OFF, it shouldn't matter if I added audio/mpeg to the pass types. However, the observation is that after I did that, it worked and allowed the mp3 attachment to come through. At first I had thought that it didn't, but I guess I didn't wait long enough, and it took a little longer for SA and ClamAV to process the message. It showed up a tad bit later than I expected, after my post! So I don't understand what happened yet, but it is working! Sorry for the bother, but I did learn something about content filtering and mime ypes. - John Another very weird thing is the the limited headers on the mail that was successfully delivered with the attachment to the list: Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 21:29:30 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary==_NextPart_000_0003_01C55A5E.581B7FB0 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 Any comments about the Content Type?
