Blocking Inbound File Attachments

Hi,
Currently, we are upgrading our email firewall from Borderware to Cisco C160 Ironport. I have loaded the config file and am now in the process of setting up/configuring policies, content filter. I want to block certain inbound attachments such as .exe's, .bat, etc.
I go to the following:
Mail Policies
Incoming Content Filter
Choose Add filter and provide filter name (optional)
Choose Add Condition
Attachment File Info
File Type is
Here is where I choose certain file types to block or allow through depening on the filter I am creating.
Do I have to create a new conditon for each file type I want blocked or can I choose multiple file extensions somehow??
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can block file attachments by file extension such as .exe, .ppt etc. with the knowledge that someone could change an exe file to .xex and it would be accepted. The other option is to block by file type which looks at the binary signature of the file and determines if it matches. There are pre-configured categories of file types like Executable, Graphics etc. You can select the category or you could pick the individual file. Selecting Exectuable would block every file deemed as an executable under the category and would prevent the renaming of the file.

The system works fine normally but it happens sometimes.
thanks in advanced.

Hi Gerardo Mondragon
this issue is not very strange when some queue has very heavy load then for time being messages are queued in the queue and it throws exception and ccms alert is generated. after some time when the queue gets processed all the messsages you will not find any error
if you find error RETRY status in SMQ2 then right click in the last column and execute LUW
it will get processed and queues will be fine
then in RZ 20 you can complete alert

Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening

Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening on all three yahoo.com (classic, plus, and beta) email formats. When I click to open and view the email attachments, I no longer get the option to "Open or Save" this file, and it is automatically saved in my Win7 Download files.
This happened once before and the fix was to "X-cancel" an orange bar message saying that FF was blocking this file from opening. This message was located just under the top of the FF browser.
I do not see this message now.

Cor-el contributed the"Yahoo File" link to solve this problem. After reading and studying the info listed I went to FF "Applications" and changed the windowmedia audio/video from "default" to "always ask." And that was the fix. Now when I open an email attachment with a .wmv file, I click on "download" and then get the Option box of "Open or Save." Just what I wanted.
Thanks Cor-el

Adobe forms with file attachments

Hello,
I want to use file attachments in my offline adobe forms. I have found some articles about how to do that but it was all related to webdynpro which i'm not using for this scenario.
Does anyone know how to do that in plain ABAP?

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''

Viewing Excel & PDF file attachments in Mac Mail 3.6

I setup my IMAP Gmail account on my Macbook's Mail 3.6. In the advanced tab of my Gmail account preferences in Mail 3.6 under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:" I have selected "All messages and their attachments"
Whenever I click on an Excel attachment, I get the error message "'filename' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
Whenever I click on a PDF attachment, I get the error message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I then tried saving the attachments from Mail 3.6 to my hard drive, but received the same error messages when I tried to open them.
However, when I access my Gmail account using my browser and download the same attachments to my hard drive, they open up without any problems.
I have deleted the folder containing the emails containing the attachments from Mail 3.6 and re-synced it with Gmail. While it successfully completes the download of all of the messages and their attachments, the same problem occurs. Oddly enough, this problem does not occur with Word Document attachments or JPEG file attachments.
This is my first Mac and while I am extremely proficient with Windows, I am clueless with Mac OS X. I have read posts about AppleDouble and Compression, but can't seem to find those options to play around with, even though I do not think that either is the issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Sijmons,
well, I didn' got confused but only wanted to help you with your Altzheimer
Geeborg,
I used to .Mac webmail with Firefox on Windows and opened a message with an attachment (mpg). I clicked on the small triangle behind the word "Attachments" and then I clicked on the name of the attachment. This opened a window stating that the attachment would be downloaded. After some time I was asked to open the file with application xyz (I don't remember the name) or to save it on disk. Choosing to open the file finally launched Windows Media Player which played the mpg.
Can you try these steps on one of your attachments?

File Attachments are blank - PDF IO Exception

Hi Everyone,
I have a Web Dynpro Java Application form that when submitted generates an Adobe Interactive form along with any attachments and starts a guided procedure. Today I'm experiencing a random error (see below), if I preview the Adobe form before the workflow starts then the attachments seems fine (correct size) but once submitted the first approver will get a null pointer exception and the file attachments appear blank. I've used the same data over and over again but it only happens randomly. I can't replicate it in my DEV or TEST to be able to debug nor can I find the cause. Anyone know what this error is?

How to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?

Does anyone know how to edit file attachments in Mavricks Mail?
Eudora, Foxmail and many other email programs allow you to simply click file attachment, open it, edit it, and FORWARD it to others.
This is extremely difficult with Mail because it forces every single incoming file attachment to be READ-ONLY which means you are forced to re-save a copy in a folder then after editing it you need to spend time to fish it out of the folder, reattach it and then forward to others. It is a huge time wasting headache not to mention polluting your system with extra copies of files.
Thanks

I believe you are missing something. I'm not on my Mac right now but there should be a setting where to save attachments and also muiltiples at one time.

Get File name of the inbound file during mapping

Scenario: to read the file name of the inbound file (which has date required for the mapping) during runtime.
The requirement is to read the date of the inbound file (passed to the XI pipline by the file adapter) and populate the same in the outbound mapping structure.
Any idea about how to do this?
(I went through few options of using java.util.map. not successful yet)

Hi Anand,
I posted the same question a time ago, without any help....
Can I find out the full filename of input file in message mapping?
Posted: Nov 23, 2004 1:00 PM
I have in XI 2.0 the following scenario :
In the inbound fileadapter I read my input file. The filename of the input file is part fixed, part variable (Like INDATA01.txt, INDATA03.txt, etc).
So in my Adapterconfiguration, I specify the filename with a wildcard (INDATA*.txt).
What I now want to do, is in my Message Mapping use the full filename , so I can do something different for every filenumber. Is there a way where I can get the full filename available in my message mapping (I did not find the filename in the XML in the message trace).

Viewing File Attachments in a Portfolio

Hi,
Asus Transformer TF101 running 4.0.3
Workstation: Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Tablet: Adobe Reader X (v10.2.0 J)
So I made a portfolio on my workstation with two pdf files.
In one of the portfolio files I added a file attachment by Opening File>Comment>Attach File.
Saved file and saved portfolio.
Open in Reader X on my workstation - no problems - selecting paperclip opens attached file.
However, when I save to my tablet and open portfolio and file I see the paperclip icon but attachment doesn't open on click.
Any idea why? Do I need make portfolio in Adobe Acrobat Pro X rather than 9 to make this work.
Recent announcement for Reader X says this should work - in fact has been out since 10.1.1: "Enhancements to Portfolios list and File Attachments on iOS: You can now view non-PDF children in PDF portfolios, and PDF File attachments on the iOS Reader. These capabilities already exist on Android since Reader 10.1.1"
Any help is appreciated - Thanks,
Muns

Anyone with info on this ? I have just ran into this problem myself, hard to believe there isn't a way to fix this .

I can't open PDF File Attachments

Hello,
I use the environments Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09.
In the perferences on the categories Trust Manager I had actived the function: PDF File Attachments: Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application
Now I'm trying in a PDF document to open a Word or Excel file and get the error message: Acrobat can not open the file attachment Because your PDF file attachment setting do not allow this file type to be opened.
And I can just open Word and Excel files.
If I open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 then I can do that.
Someone has a idea.
Regards
Erdem

Hi Aadesh,
I had actived the Trust Manager -> 'Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application' on Acrobat and Reader 11.0.09.
I can open the non-PDF files with Acrobat but not with Reader.

Why are my received file attachments (Office files such as .doc, .docx, .xlsx but also pdf files) corrupted - so that I cannot open them?

For the last month, 90% of the file attachments that I receive by email will not open on my MacBook Pro (2009, running Mac OS 10.7.5). I get assorted messages, but generally saying that the file is corrupt, or the filename contains unacceptable characters. The problem has been generally with Word files (.doc and .docx)], Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) and pdf files.
The bit that I don't understand is that I can open the same email attachments (without any problem) when downloaded on my iMac. And I have recently found that colleagues who received the same emails can open them, and can transfer the files to me (usually by USB stick) … and then I can open them. But I still cannot open the same files received as email attachments on my MacBook Pro.
Which makes me think that the files (email attachments) are somehow being corrupted as they are downloaded?
I installed the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.7.5 in July, so perhaps this was when the problem started? And, although it may be unrelated, around the same time as this problem started, I transferred some files from a colleague's computer on a USB stick and found that the USB stick had picked up a virus/malware, which meant that the stick was dead, and I had to reformat the stick. I scanned my computer (using ClamXav, with the latest updates) and quarantined a file found on the USB stick and on my computer.
Any thoughts on why this might happen, and what I can do to sort it out (as it is making work very difficult - I travel a lot, and rely on being able to open and read files sent from countries all over the world, often by people using old versions of Office software)? I have never had problems in the past, and can't understand why my other computer, and my colleagues, can all open these files, but my laptop will not! Many thanks for any help!

Possible to print PO file attachments on the PO report? (R12)

Hi All,
Metalink Note:436308.1 (Do Text File Attached To Purchase Order Print on Purchase Order Report?) promises that functionality for printing PO file attachments on the PO report would be available in R12.
Does anyone know if this functionality has been implemented, and if so, where is it documented? I have been looking but not finding. Grateful for your help, as always.
Best Regards, Matilda Smeds

Nagmohan, Matilda:
The attachment documents with category "To Supplier" are being emailed .... but I cannot see the PO+Contract terms in the attachments on I-Supplier. I can see the PO+Contract terms in the View PDf functionality.
When there are no attachment documents, I see the PO+Contract terms in the attachments as well as the View PDF. Why is this ?
Is there anything else that needs to be setup here ?
Yesh
