[Esd-l] Sanitizer works for all except a few

[Chris Rothbauer]

No, all users are outlook users. I use outlook, as do the rest of my
users (including the test group). When the attachment is stripped by
sanitizer, we get notices. When the attachment doesn't get stripped by
sanitizer, it still gets stripped by outlook. I only included that as
evidence of the fact that sanitizer failed for these users.

The problem is that in 1/4 of the people so far, sanitizer fails to
strip attachments. I am using an /etc/procmailrc to control it and no
users have .forward or .procmailrc files so if it works for 3/4, it
should work for the other 1/4, which is where it's failing.

Thanks,

I believe you're saying that only Outlook users are getting attachments
stripped... If this is the case, Outlook's latest "security" feature is
to deny access to specific file types. There is a registry hack that
overrides this functionality. You can read about it here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q262631
Outlook doesn't have the ability to look at the raw message, like
Netscape does...if it did, you'd probably notice that the message
actually contains the data you can't access.
