Hi all,
I don't know if everybody experience with this or not. We just implement openoffice on our office. Unfortunately when someone attached a file created from openoffice it will be block by SME. Below is the message:
The message could not be sent because its size exceeded the server's limit. You can use the option, located in Tools | Accounts | Properties | Advanced, to break messages into smaller parts. Subject 'testing doc', Account: 'my.domain.com', Server: 'my.domain.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '552 We don't accept email with executable content [UEsDBBQAA].', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 552, Error Number: 0x800CCC6D
I have enabled all list from content-blocking option of SME. My question is why it was block as this file was merely a document file. If i attached ms office files no problem at all.
Regards,
Rocel

Thats the issue, it even tells you the pattern that is being detected, which is ZIPv2. That is a reasonably safe one to disable, and most people do need to send attachments in ZIPv2 format.
You need to disable that pattern in server manager email panel if you want files of that type to be allowed. Ctrl + Click on name to disable an individual pattern.
Note the system doesn't block files by name/type it blocks them based on the actual content detected inside the file.
See my old how to for all the details.

The install steps are no longer applicable, but the other information is.

Hi Ray,
It works.....thank you! I thought that pattern ZIPv2 was only for zip files.
