Filter for Filetype

Greg.Howley

When filtering for filetype, can i use the $matchedcontent variable in the Add Log Entry action to tell me which filetype was discovered?

Sometimes if there are multiple files attached it is difficult to determine what triggered the block.

Thanks

For Content Filters, the manual (8.5) says the Log action can accept Action variables and the $MatchedContent variable appears in the subsequent list of Action variables.

As a Log action can't do too much damage, I'd experiment. If the filter conditions are complex, there might still be some ambiguity.
