I am running Symantec Antivirus for SMTP gateways version 3.1.0.29. This has an option to block attachments by extension, but this blocks files even when they are in ZIP files. The Symantec (Norton) antivirus that runs on our exchange server (5.5) has a registry setting to control whether or not it looks in ZIP files for bad extension (it always scans for viruses in ZIP files). Does anyone know how to configure SAV for SMTP gateways to allow "bad" extensions when they are stored in ZIP files?
