This was well writen and easy to follow, thanks. I only use the terminal maybe once a month so if I can follow the directions then it was well written. I went on to add the Virex portion and this seemed to disable the sanitizer, went back to the first config file all was well. Hmmmm. Also using the sanitizer.cfg I would really like it if it did not defang HTML files, and its not that clear how to exempt these files. Any help? Thanks Brian

  Hello Brian,
  
  To answer your second question, you can disable HTML scanning by changing the feat_html value to 0. You can also easily disable the default action of defanging if you change
  file_default_policy to accept (to pass them through untouched) or save (to detach them and store them in the quarantine). Keep in mind the default isn't consulted until after the other file list policies have been exhasted.
  
  The first question... I'm actually using the second config, so I'm not quite sure what might be causing problems. Did you copy and paste the exact config or just add the additional lines? If the latter, you might have forgotten to increment the file_list_rules value.

  Feature Value to Zero works great. Folks in my office receive a lot of HTML newsletters so they were a bit peeved this am.
  
  I am using the first config, and all is well, when I copy and paste the second config, then all passes thru. I will look closer later at the second config. I probably have Virex in the wrong place.
  Panther 10.3.2
  
  Thanks again.
