We have posted a few helpful hints for users that are experiencing problems with Password Reset requests, UPS, Western Union, Youtube and other forms of spam. However, it looks like the spammers are altering the message to adapt to the changes that Postini and other vendors are making, so more updates to the filters are expected.
We are recommending that a temporary custom attachment filter to block all messages with a .html attachment is enabled within Postini. NOTE: If this filter is applied, it will block any legitimate message with that type of attachment. See below for the steps to enable the filter and the recommended settings:
Attachment Manager Filter Steps
- Access the customer’s Postini User Org and enable the Inbound Attachment Manager.
- To build a custom filter for blocking .html attachments, select Filter and follow the image below:
- We highly recommend enabling ‘Scan inside compressed file types’ and ‘Enable binary scanning’ as this may also help with any future evolutions.
- Be sure to add ‘html’ under 2. Custom Filter Types to either User Quarantine (in case of false positives) or under Quarantine Redirect.
- Click Save and the filter is applied.
