The problem with setting OLE2BlockMacros to yes is that if you don't
implement your own signatures against macro code, setting
OLE2BlockMacros Yes effectively causes Heuristics.OLE2.ContainsMacros
to be returned and disables all official and unofficial signatures.
If OLE2BlockMacros is Yes then the only option is to treat every file
with macros as a virus and eg discard if you want to block the files
that do contain a macro virus, as outlined by David Shrimpton on this
list a few weeks ago

which is the whole point

it's impossible to get them all catched with sgnatures because they
change all the time and so if you want to be sure you need to treat
every office macro as bad - they don't belong into emails these days

frankly i have seen companies blocking every .doc and .xls attachment
with a reject info that you should use .docx and .xslx becasue they
can't contain macros (would be .docm for the new formats)

.docm is docx with macros, so they would want to block them too :-)

did i say anything else?

i just pointed out that people even start to block FILETYPES which *could* contain macros
