Encrypted attachments getting quarantined (PureMessage for Unix)

Lately I have observed that Encrypted (Password protected) attachments are getting quarantined as "Suspect" under the policy rule "Quarantine mail containing suspicious attachments".

The file types are quarantined are,

* Microsoft excel .xlsx   or  .xls

* Zip archives   .zip

My users are used to send password protected excel files as a precaution on files containing sensitive data such as account details, etc.

This is a recent development and I am pretty sure that this was not enforced previously on these type of attachments. Encrypted PDF documents are still passing through without any issues. I wonder if anyone else have come across this and I strongly believe this change should not have been made.

Kind regards,

Pubudu.

  • Ace,

    I'm sorry but I've never used the windows version of PM so I wouldn't know where to begin.

    However, I would imagine there is a way to control the e-mail policy on the windows version. I will also mention that I created the rule above; it wasn't included in the Policy.

    Good Luck!
