Question: - What file types are recognized by Trustwave MailMarshal (SEG)?
- What file types are recognized by Trustwave ECM 5.2 and above?
Information:The following formats are recognized by current MailMarshal (SEG) and ECM versions. Notes: - Some types are recognized only with current product versions, as noted.
- With MailMarshal/SEG 7.3.5 and above, additional types are recognized with specific updates to the File Type DLL. For information about the File Type update for each MailMarshal version, see article Q20446.
- File Type updates are distributed through the MailMarshal Automatic Updates to installations with current maintenance.
- Items recognized with a specific MailMarshal/SEG or FileType update are not recognized in MailMarshal Exchange/ECM.
In the tables below, Type Name refers to the name seen in the Engine log and rule listings. Description is the name as seen when selecting types in the email policy editor. - The Type Name is often the same as the usual file extension. However, file type detection is based on file structure and NOT on the file extension. If you rename a zip archive as ".TXT", it is still recognized as a zip archive by MailMarshal.
