Where is the rule that blocks this type of content so I can try and remove it? or is there a whitelist that I can put craigslist on somewhere?

/etc/system_filter.exim

I just scoured that file from top to bottom and I can't find the string that has that error message in it nor could I find anywhere in there where one of the strings is html.

I thought it would be kind of odd for a spam filter to reject any email that had an html attachment anyways wouldn't you? Anyways I am not sure where else to look in that file because nothing says html.
 
oh I guess its in /etc/exim.conf

## deny if email contains an attachment of type we don't accept.
# deny message = This message contains an attachment of a type which we do not accept (attachment_not_allow:.$found_extension)
# demime = bat:com:pif:prf:scr:vbs:html

Around line 382.

You should just tell the person sending you a html to zip it up and it will allow you to get it then. Allowing html is potentially dangerous.

Awesome! thank you!! and I don't think craigslist would listen to me if I asked them to :(
 
Html encoded emails are usually fine... I was just wondering why it would be an attachment...something seems weird there :)
 
Strange they are sending it as an attachment and not a link.

Agreed, but you know how the big companies are.. they do things the way they want and won't listen to small people like us :)
