We have blocked .exe since the day we could block it.

If anyone wants to send a .exe he/she is intelligent enough to be able to
zip it.  Accepting .exe is asking for trouble.

Outlook Express by default will block .exe .. I am not sure about Outlook
but I don't think it does.

We have an autoreply that is sent to anyone sending .exe or any of the
blocked attachments asking them to zip it if they wish to send it.

Regards,
Kami

Subject: [Declude.Virus] double file extensions


Curious is there any way to disable/prevent double extensions as attachments
?

With one of the last new viruses this weekend one virus managed to slip
through between my automated updates to at least myself. And this was a
double extension .JPG.exe there are no reasons what soever in my opinion
that anyone should ever need to send a attchment with a double extension
like that. We run a ISP so I don't want to blindly just block .exe
extensions (I do block .pif, .scr and a few other selected for which there
shuold be no or very extremely minimal reason a user every need to send such
a attachment).

Please advise.

Best regards,
