Amavis seems to block some Word documents. I experienced those problems with signed documents. In the logfiles amavis writes:
Blocked BANNED (.exe,.exe-ms,[trash]/0000.dat)
According to the Debian bugtracker it seems that this bug is already known. I found a workaround for this problem here. So I opened an editor and copied the $banned_filename_re = new_RE-Block from /etc/amavis/conf.d/20-debian_defaults to_/etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user_. Now I just added
[qr'^\[trash\]/[0-9a-f]{4}\.dat$' =\> 0 ],
on the top of the list. The complete block looks like this:
$banned\_filename\_re = new\_RE( # allow trash sections of docx files [qr'^\[trash\]/[0-9a-f]{4}\.dat$' =\> 0 ], # allow [trash]hhhh.dat in docx files # block certain double extensions anywhere in the base name qr'\.[^./]\*\.(exe|vbs|pif|scr|bat|cmd|com|cpl|dll)\.?$'i, qr'\{[0-9a-f]{8}(-[0-9a-f]{4}){3}-[0-9a-f]{12}\}?$'i, # Windows Class ID CLSID, strict qr'^application/x-msdownload$'i, # block these MIME types qr'^application/x-msdos-program$'i, qr'^application/hta$'i, qr'.\.(exe|vbs|pif|scr|bat|cmd|com|cpl)$'i, # banned extension - basic qr'^\.(exe-ms)$', # banned file(1) types );
