Content-scanning is continually evolving, and new features are still being

-If your virus scanner cannot unpack MIME and TNEF containers itself, you should

-&%malware%& condition.
-
Beware the interaction of Exim's &%message_size_limit%& with any size limits
imposed by your anti-virus scanner.
Here is a very simple scanning example:
.code
deny message = This message contains malware ($malware_name)
- demime = *
malware = *
.endd
The next example accepts messages when there is a problem with the scanner:

-.cindex "content scanning" "MIME checking"
-.cindex "MIME content scanning"
-The &%demime%& ACL condition provides MIME unpacking, sanity checking and file
-extension blocking. It is usable only in the DATA and non-SMTP ACLs. The
-&%demime%& condition uses a simpler interface to MIME decoding than the MIME
-ACL functionality, but provides no additional facilities. Please note that this
-condition is deprecated and kept only for backward compatibility. You must set
-the WITH_OLD_DEMIME option in &_Local/Makefile_& at build time to be able to
-use the &%demime%& condition.
-
-The &%demime%& condition unpacks MIME containers in the message. It detects
-errors in MIME containers and can match file extensions found in the message
-against a list. Using this facility produces files containing the unpacked MIME
-parts of the message in the temporary scan directory. If you do antivirus
-scanning, it is recommended that you use the &%demime%& condition before the
-antivirus (&%malware%&) condition.
-
-On the right-hand side of the &%demime%& condition you can pass a
-colon-separated list of file extensions that it should match against. For
-example:
-.code
-deny message = Found blacklisted file attachment
- demime = vbs:com:bat:pif:prf:lnk
-.endd
-If one of the file extensions is found, the condition is true, otherwise it is
-false. If there is a temporary error while demimeing (for example, &"disk
-full"&), the condition defers, and the message is temporarily rejected (unless
-the condition is on a &%warn%& verb).
-
-The right-hand side is expanded before being treated as a list, so you can have
-conditions and lookups there. If it expands to an empty string, &"false"&, or
-zero (&"0"&), no demimeing is done and the condition is false.
-
-The &%demime%& condition set the following variables:
-
-.vlist
-.vitem &$demime_errorlevel$&
-.vindex "&$demime_errorlevel$&"
-When an error is detected in a MIME container, this variable contains the
-severity of the error, as an integer number. The higher the value, the more
-severe the error (the current maximum value is 3). If this variable is unset or
-zero, no error occurred.
-
-.vitem &$demime_reason$&
-.vindex "&$demime_reason$&"
-When &$demime_errorlevel$& is greater than zero, this variable contains a
-human-readable text string describing the MIME error that occurred.
-.endlist
-
-.vlist
-.vitem &$found_extension$&
-.vindex "&$found_extension$&"
-When the &%demime%& condition is true, this variable contains the file
-extension it found.
-.endlist
-
-Both &$demime_errorlevel$& and &$demime_reason$& are set by the first call of
-the &%demime%& condition, and are not changed on subsequent calls.
-
-If you do not want to check for file extensions, but rather use the &%demime%&
-condition for unpacking or error checking purposes, pass &"*"& as the
-right-hand side value. Here is a more elaborate example of how to use this
-facility:
-.code
-# Reject messages with serious MIME container errors
-deny message = Found MIME error ($demime_reason).
- demime = *
- condition = ${if >{$demime_errorlevel}{2}{1}{0}}
-
-# Reject known virus spreading file extensions.
-# Accepting these is pretty much braindead.
-deny message = contains $found_extension file (blacklisted).
- demime = com:vbs:bat:pif:scr
-
-# Freeze .exe and .doc files. Postmaster can
-# examine them and eventually thaw them.
-deny log_message = Another $found_extension file.
- demime = exe:doc
- control = freeze
