This will # make them significantly less efficient, but I am getting so # many queries about this that requiring 3.2x appears unsupportable. # 0.14 15 August,2001 # Added .lnk extension - most requested item :-) # Reformatted everything so its now built from a set of short # library files, cutting down on manual duplication. # Changed \w in filename detection to . - dodges locale problems # Explicit application of GPL after queries on license status # 0.15 17 August, 2001 # Changed the . in filename detect to \S (stops it going mad) # 0.16 19 September, 2001 # Pile of new extensions including the eml in current use # 0.17 19 September, 2001 # Syntax fix # #### Install Notes # # Exim filters run the exim filter language - a very primitive # scripting language - in place of a user .forward file, or on # a per system basis (on all messages passing through). # The filtering capability is documented in the main set of manuals # a copy of which can be found on the exim web site # http://www.exim.org/ # # To install, copy the filter file (with appropriate permissions) # to /etc/exim/system_filter.exim and add to your exim config file # [location is installation depedant - typicaly /etc/exim/config ] # in the first section the line:- # message_filter = /etc/exim/system_filter.exim # message_body_visible = 5000 # # You may also want to set the message_filter_user & message_filter_group # options, but they default to the standard exim user and so can # be left untouched. The other message_filter_* options are only # needed if you modify this to do other functions such as deliveries. # The main exim documentation is quite thorough and so I see no need # to expand it here... # # Any message that matches the filter will then be bounced. # If you wish you can change the error message by editing it # in the section above - however be careful you don't break it. # # After install exim should be restarted - a kill -HUP to the # daemon will do this. # #### LIMITATIONS # # This filter tries to parse MIME with a regexp... that doesn't # work too well. It will also only see the amount of the body # specified in message_body_visible # #### BASIS # # The regexp that is used to pickup MIME/uuencoded body parts with # quoted filenames is replicated below (in perl format). # You need to remember that exim converts newlines to spaces in # the message_body variable. # # (?:Content- # start of content header # (?:Type: (?>\s*) # rest of c/t header # [\w-]+/[\w-]+ # content-type (any) # |Disposition: (?>\s*) # content-disposition hdr # attachment) # content-disposition # ;(?>\s*) # ; space or newline # (?:file)?name= # filename=/name= # |begin (?>\s+) [0-7]{3,4} (?>\s+)) # begin octal-mode # (\"[^\"]+\. # quoted filename. # (?:ad[ep] # list of extns # |ba[st] # |chm # |cmd # |com # |cpl # |crt # |eml # |exe # |hlp # |hta # |in[fs] # |isp # |jse? # |lnk # |md[be] # |ms[cipt] # |pcd # |pif # |reg # |scr # |sct # |shs # |url # |vb[se] # |ws[fhc]) # \" # end quote # ) # end of filename capture # [\s;] # trailing ;/space/newline # # ### [End]
