Hi all,
i create an attachment checking rule to block all files greater than the following size: 10000kb
the rule works fine, all mails with attachments greater than 10000kb are moved to the quarantine.
now i need some exeptions, and there is the problem,
the exeption list doesn't work
i insert a user, in the list i see the the user and his mailaddress,
but all mails (greater than...) are blocked
anyone use the same setting and it works?
br
Hermann

Hi,
Keep in mind that if there is at least one recipient or sender in such mails whose email address belongs to the Local Domains but not in the exception list the rule will still be applied. Is that the case in your situation ?

dear Max,
sorry i cann't follow your discription.
I want to block (quarantine) all emails (incoming & outgoing) larger than 10MB.
Only less special mailadresses should be able to mail without the max Mailsize.

wanhermann,
To do this please do the following:
1. Open GFI MailSecurity
2. Go to "Attachment Filtering"
3. Create a new rule
4. Enable the "Block all files greater than the following size in Kb:"
5. Enter your desired size
6. Go to "Users/Folders"
7. Select the radio button "All Except This List" and enter the users you do not want the size limit to apply to
8. Apply the rule
Please note that if user1 is on the exclusion list and a message is sent to user1 and user2 the attachment will be blocked for both users as user2 was not an excluded user.

wanhermann,
1. Open GFI MailSecurity
2. Go to "Attachment Filtering"
3. Edit your attachment rule
4. Uncheck "Block all files greater than the following size in Kb:"
5. Click Apply
6. Under "Attachment blocking" check the radio button for "Block this list"
7. Click Apply
8. Check "Block all files greater than the following size in Kb:"
9. Click Apply
After performing these steps please test the software. This should allow your attachment rules to work the way you want them.

Dear John,
we test this setting yesterday, and if it is a mail from outlook it works
also if we insert an exeption (AD User) works fine.
The problem is, we have an user in the exeption list
and a program which uses the emailaddress from the user to send emails,
in this case the exeption from the rule doesn't work.
Have you any idea why "User A" with the mailaddress user.a@domain.net works,
but if an application send an email with the sender address user.a@domain.net the mail will be blocked (the exeption from the rule doesn't work fine...). ??

Hi,
Does this application sends an email from user.a@domain.net to, say, user.b@domain.net, i.e. in the same domain ( or any other local domain ) ? In that case if user.b is not in the exception list, the email is going to be blocked. GFI MailSecurity applies "strictest" principle when determining if a rule should be applied or not which essentially can be represented as follows:
If a sender or at least one recipient has an email address belonging to the list of local domains and does not appear in the exception list, the rules should be applied.

Hi,
If the "different internal mailaddress" you mentioned is not in the exception list AND its domain part belongs to one of the local domains configurable in GFI MailSecurity Configuration->Settings->Local Domains, the email is going to be blocked.
