Content-Filter for compressed attachments drops OpenOffice Documents

Hallowelt

Dear all,

we're using an outgoing message filter in our ESA to strip compressed attachments from e-mails:

--------------------------------------------------------
Condition: Attachment File Info 
Rule: attachment-filetype == "Compressed" 

Action:  drop-attachments-by-filetype("Compressed", "...")
--------------------------------------------------------

It seems, that the filter catches documents with embedded StarView-Metafile-Objects like Formulas produces by the Open/Libre Office Math Module.

Proof of concept:

- create libreoffice textdocument (.odt)
- Insert an example formula via "Insert -> OLE Object -> Formula Object"
- save, attach to e-mail and send

-> If above filter is active, the attachment is dropped

Oddly this is not replicable via message tracing

-------------------------------------------------------
Processing content filter 'ArchiveFilter':
Evaluating Condition:   attachment-filetype == "Compressed"
    Result = False
Evaluating Condition:   attachment-protected
    Result = False
------------------------------------------------------

When I unpack the document with zip and attach the extracted files, nothing is blocked

Any idea?

Thanks, Harald
