Hi,
I'd like to use a filter rule to block Word and Powerpoint files even if they are inside archives, but it does not seem to work properly.
Sometimes there are messages which pass PMG and get caught by the forbidden file type rule on the Zimbra mail server.
As far as I understand the ruleset the message should be blocked on PMG.
Is this a malfunction because docx is technically a zip file with different file extension?
Tracking log:
Can somebody please explain what's happening here?
Thank you
