Bug #594
".eml" files cannot be copied onto shares
100%
Description
whenever I try to copy ".eml" (emails saved from thunderbird / outlook express, etc) to an amahi share i get "The system cannot find the file specified" error on windows 7, and the copy obviously fails. Any other files seem to copy across ok.

ok, here is the issue. this was recommended to us by someone we trust in the samba team to prevent viruses:
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
sadly there is no great solution as is (without modifying code in the platform), i think.
perhaps can you try adding this?:
veto files = /*.{*}/
to the Extra Parameters area (advanced settings required).

bjhieber, you can test this fix doing this as root in your HDA:
rpm -Uvh http://alpha.amahi.org/tmp/hda-platform-5.4.14-1.noarch.rpm
then you need to change at least one setting in your shares area.
(you can revert it immediately)

Hi,
I tried the fix (after freshly reinstalling Amahi due to a currupt filesystem), but it doesn't seem to do the trick. The error appears to have changed to "This is no longer located in \\hda\[etc.etc] Verify the item's location and try again." What's strange is that its on about the destination, not the source. The copy clearly fails.

you sure? can you check this?
~$ grep eml /etc/samba/smb.conf
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
you should not get a veto files line.

My apologies, after rebooting the server (and other machines) this issue has now been resolved.
Thank you!
