Hello Guys ,
I would like to ask please , why block rules with ==> application/vnd\.rar (rar)
Is block *.docx....

One more question please :

Where I can find why mail was blocking exactly ,
Because currently I was needed to eliminate one at the time to find out which one causing me trouble.

Thanks,
Koby Peleg Hen

it should not - afaik docx and rar have nothing in common

Where I can find why mail was blocking exactly ,
you should be able to see which rule caused a mail to be blocked/quarantined/accepted in the mail.log (/var/log/mail.log, or `journalctl -b`)

I hope this helps!

Does anyone have the same issue ?
Thank for any help.

Thanks for sharing your config, the mail and the logs - with this I could reproduce the issue:
docx is basically a zipped xml - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML
so the content type filter matches.
The content type matches zip files (which are different and have a different mime-type from .rar files)

You have the following possibilities:
* create a rule with a higher priority, which accepts mails with docx/xlsx filetypes ('application/vnd\.openxmlformats-officedocument.*' should work)
* maybe a bit more robust - create the rule matching for the filename '.*.docx'

* change the Block ArchiveFile Type to match for the filename as well

(of course there is the difference between filename (which is provided by the mail-sender (or their client) and the mime-type (which is deduced from the file contents (roughly what `file(1)` does) )

I hope this explains it!
