.URL attachments blocked by Exim

[rrothkopf]

When e-mail containing a link to a Web page (.URL extension) is sent to a Jaguar-hosted domain, it is returned to the sender with a message like the following one:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

someuser@somedomain.com
This message has been rejected because it has
a potentially executable attachment "jewelry.url"
This form of attachment has been used by
recent viruses or other malware.
If you meant to send this file then please
package it up as a zip file and resend it.

------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------

I'd like to be able to receive e-mails which contain .URL file attachments and trust my local anti-virus software to protect me.

How can I disable this feature of Jaguar's/Exim's mail server software?

It's not a feature you can disable on your account. It's a global feature to protect you and others users on the server. As instructed by the error message, you may want to ZIP the file and send it again to your recipients
