Exim Blocking of Extensions

I tried putting into the exim.conf but demime doesn't seem to be recognised.

# Unpack MIME containers and reject file extensions used by worms.
# This calls the demime condition again, but it will return cached results.
# Note that the extension list may be incomplete.
#
deny
message = We do not accept ".$found_extension" attachments here.
demime = bat:btm:cmd:com:cpl:dll:exe:lnk:msiifrf:reg:scr:vbs:url

Anything I have missed out?

You may be using a compiled exim that doesn't recognize demime.

John wrote me a few days ago that demime is deprecated.

I'll be doing some research into this at some point but I cannot guarantee a timeframe.

Thanks a million, really appreciate it!

I'm not sure if I gave you a bum steer or not...

Here's what I've found out about the latest exiscan stuff compiled into exim:

I'm having problems installing an RPM; I'm awaiting a response from John.

Hi!
Is there something new on this?

I have just found myself incapable of forwarding messages that has .com in some part of it ... because it seems that EXIM thinks that the attachment is called something.com

If all you want to do is allow messages with ".com" in the name of the attachment, you can make changes to the exim systemwide filter at:

/etc/system_filter.exim

(on line 91 in my copy).
