some mails are rejected because of pdf attachment


  • Hello,

    many messages with pdf attachment come through. 
    However, some are rejected because of the pdf.

    Fri 2025-04-04 13:54:49: -- Execute from: Attachment Filtering --
    Fri 2025-04-04 13:54:49: * Attachment R2025502661870.pdf matches
    Fri 2025-04-04 13:54:49: ** Reject 550 Message rejected due to the attachment filtering policy.
    Fri 2025-04-04 13:54:49: -- End: Attachment Filtering (0.002188 seconds) --

    Under Security -> Filter -> Attachments no pdf are entered.
    There are also no exceptions for individual domains.

    Is there another setting that I have overlooked?

    Thanks
    Oliver

  • @Arron The fileman is sg_config-230425.xml 


  • @Arron any news?


  • My apologies for the delay.  The "R2*" entry in the attachment filtering list is causing the message to be rejected.  If possible, you can rename the attachment to start with any letter other than "R" and this will not occur.  The other work around is to remove the "R2*" entry from the list.  There are also entries for R0* and R1* which could cause the same issue.

    The entries are in place to block multi-volume archives, which are most often used maliciously.  In this case the entry is not working as expected.  I've submitted a bug for the development team to review.


  • @Arron thank you for the quick response.

    Would be great if this would work correctly in the future.
