I have NEVER experienced such a > scenario. in a quite recent past there were "waves" of malware pumped out by bots, the attachments were quite small and their signatures changed from message to message and for a certain timeframe the AVs were unable to detect it; sure, ASSP may just reject such messages for other reasons, but there may still be a chance for the malware to get through and hit some machines Also, while I may agree with you when it comes to ISP level filtering, in a corporate environment, attachment blocking may still make sense, if a company sets up a policy to disallow sending certain types of mail attachments, they may then use ASSP to enforce such a policy > If I am asked, I recommend against it, so Germany is quite free > from attachment blocking without any harm and with greatly > enhanced service level ))). again, at ISP level it makes sense allowing attachments, but in other cases it may make sense *blocking* them, so having such an option is ASSP isn't bad all in all :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Assp-user mailing list Assp-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-user
