Re: [vchkpw] Block all .html attachments?

2010-07-29 Thread Stephane Bouvard
Hi,

Maybe late for an answer, but it will block every message of users doing send 
page by email from websites...  like when you send informations from a 
protected website to a friend...  of course you may print the page to pdf, save 
the page to disk then zip it,... but it's not anymore a one click option...

 I've seen a huge increase in spam making use of .html attachments, and I'm
 considering outright blocking of all .html attachments.

 Has anyone else done this?  Any thoughts on the number of legitimate .html
 attachments I'd be blocking?

 I'm considering doing the same on my mailservers, I looked at the content of 
 a 
 few of them, some contained a redirect and some contained some dodgy looking 
 javascript.
 I cannot think of a legitimate reason for html attachments apart from a few 
 web developers who can use zip.

HTML Email is an abomination in the eyes of this (and many other) email
administrator.  There's no reason for HTML encoded email on this list, let
alone .html attachments IMHO.  I say kill it.

I'm not proposing it for the list, I'm considering it for my own email hosting.

My understanding is that HTML email doesn't use .html attachments, so it 
shouldn't be affected.
