Just got off the phone with Trend. I noticed .bat files were not being blocked even though they were on my list of attachments to block by file extension. Trend indicates that blocking by file extension interprets by "true file type," meaning a .bat is a .txt file! The fix is to put in the "Attachments with specified file names:" entries like *.bat, *.scr, *.vbs, etc. I added almost my entire list minus a few like gif, jpg, mov, etc that being blocked correctly now. Exchange 2000 SP2 on Windows 2000 SP2 Scan engine version is: 5.630-1025 Pattern is 207 All Product version are: 6.00 Here are my entries: Attachments with specified extensions: bat;gif;jpg;jpeg;386;acm;asp;avb;bin;cla;class;cnv;com;cs;dll;drv;gms;hlp;ht a;htt;inf;ini;lnk;mpd;ocx;sys;tlb;tsp;vxd;wbt;wiz;exe;vbs;avi;mov;mp3;mpg;mp eg;wsh;js;reg;ins;wsf;vbe;jse;pif;wsc;sct;hta;shs;scr;cmd;mht*;ov*; Attachments with specified file names: *.bat;*.386;*.acm;*.asp;*.avb;*.bin;*.cla;*.class;*.cnv;*.com;*.cs;*.dll;*.d rv;*.gms;*.hlp;*.hta;*.htt;*.inf;*.ini;*.lnk;*.mpd;*.ocx;*.sys;*.tlb;*.tsp;* .vxd;*.wbt;*.wiz;*.vbs;*.wsh;*.js;*.reg;*.ins;*.wsf;*.vbe;*.jse;*.pif;*.wsc; *.sct;*.hta;*.shs;*.scr;*.cmd;*.mht*;*.ov*; Timothy J.
