We have adopted the current policy at least for the short term:
1 ) We block all potentially hazardous extensions including .zip.
Can these "virus" rules be bypassed? We have real virus checking and don't want our spam checker doing any virus blocking. Thanks.
Yes. Any rule can be blocked from any rulebase.
I made a mistake when I posted my original message. It is confusing.
The Malware rules we are coding into the system only block messages that match known virii/worm patterns, and of those, we are focusing only on those that have .zip file attached. We are not focusing on other .exe types.
Just to be clear, the malware rules we are putting in place are very much the same as malware rules we have coded in the past.
We are not creating any rules that block attachments.
I apologize again for the confusion.
