Regex - Spamfilter - False Positive?
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2005 6:53 pm
Recieved a complaint this morning that some DCC sends were blocked between 2 specific users. Spamfilter seems to have blocked the sends.
-nightcrow.se.eu.epicirc.net- DCC to xxUSERxx blocked: Infected by Gaggle worm
-nightcrow.se.eu.epicirc.net- *** You have been blocked from sending files, reconnect to regain permission to send files
Of course this is in the spamfilter as:
spamfilter {
regex "C:\\WINNT\\system32\\[][0-9a-z_-{|}`]+\.zip";
target dcc;
action block;
reason "Infected by Gaggle worm?";
};
Now, I am not good with regex, so sorry that I have to ask somewhat simple questions here... How could this spamfilter be blocking files. What exactially is it looking for? User test sending test.txt are blocked. User has virusscanned with updated Norton 2005, so Im just not POSITIVE that anyone is infected.
Any help is appreciated.
