We block a wide variety of attachments that are potentially harmful, but in general allow .jpg, .gif, .avi. mpeg, etc so that our file filter doesn't get hit too hard and it tends to placate our users a bit. However, if a user needs a file that is in our file filter... we inform them (or the sender) to send the files in a password protected zip file. This allows it to get by the file filter. BTW... here's our list of blocked attachments:
ADE;ADP;ASX;BAS;BAT;BIN;CHM;CMD;COM;CPL;CRT;DLL;EML;EXE;HIV;HLP;HTA;INF;INS;ISP;JS;JSE;JTD;MSC;MSI;MSP;MST;NWS;OCX;OFT;OVL;PCD;PIF;PL;PLX;REG;SCR;SCT;SH;SHB;SHS;SYS;VB;VBE;VBS;VSS;VST;VXD;WSC;WSF;WSH Now... if antigen would only support cut and paste file filtering options!!

Ok for those of you that block all attachments including .exe .com .jpg .gif . How do you deliver legitimate attachments to your folks. I want to implement this but I would like to hear the process of others. I don't want to have to spend all day manually delivering somebodies pictures of their kids to them. thanks in advance. dave List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
