[Esa-l] Over sensitive poisoning

[Dave Clendenan]

I think I must have missed something in the original
discussion of this, because it seems to me that it's
rather redundant to poison 
'filename.[safe_extension].[extension_we're_mangling_anyway]'

:)

In a world without walls, where is the need
for Gates and Windows?

Subject: [Esa-l] Over sensitive poisoning


Folks,

Like most of you I recently added
*.[a-z0-9]+.[a-z0-9]+

to my POISONED file.

I fear this may be acting a little oversensitive.

I'm hoping I'm wrong and that there is an easier solution, but I'm finding
it's killing attachments such as:

budget.2000.doc
dumbsecretary.xls.xlt

Is there a way to get around this without putting us back at risk?

Cheers, Jas
