Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tokio Kikuchi (tkikuchi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: filter attachments by filename extensions

Initial Comment: Mailman's filter attachment feature is useful but many MUA's are sending same application files with different content-type: eg. application/pdf or application/octet-stream for PDF. Viruses also fake the content-type for executables as audio etc. So, we need to filter attachments by filename extensions by which windows assumes their associated applications. This patch enables list owners to define filename extensions to filter (block) or pass the attached file. After applying patch, configure and make install, you may have to 'bin/update -f' to force the list attribute upgrading. You may also have to check the config.pck schema version (DATA_FILE_VERSION) in Version.py and make sure the number is incremented. (90 -> 91) The old number may be different if you have applied other patches. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
