Can't Block .js files inside of .zip Email Attachments

Thanks for the replyMaurizio,

While watching my log files in real time just this morning (with multitail), I saw it actually catch a zipped .js file and quarantine it.  I guess my setup is actually working after a.  I'm just not sure why it wasn't catching the zipped .js files I was using when trying to test it.

Here's what the successful catch and quarantine looked like in my log files:

Hello Patrick
I had the same issue, you have to raise log level, then you can check if zip
file is unzipped; js are blocked, but ziped files should be opened
 I solved by installing p7zip
this is not enough, you should configure amavis to use it whan you receive zip
attachments
I used this

unshift(@decoders,
  ['zip',  \&Amavis::Unpackers::do_7zip, ['7z','7za'] ],
);

I am not  an expert at all, I am very lame and I can't say this is the
proper solution, what I note was that after this configuration zipped
attachments were correctly opened
