    • Use a system property to validate attachments uploaded from inbound emails.

    Set the glide.security.file.mime_type.validation.inbound_email system property to true to perform MIME type validation on attachments uploaded from inbound emails. Validating the MIME type of uploaded files helps to ensure that the file content matches the expected file format.

    Set the system property value to true to perform MIME type validation. If the system property is not present on your instance, the fallback value is false.
