RE: Email Viruses

No problem.  Plus, you have to remember that since it is the client, (OLSecPatch), it doesn’t actually delete the attachment, it only blocks access to it.  If you were to access that e-mail from another computer that didn’t have the patch installed, you would be able to get to the offending attachment just fine.  I read in one of your later posts that you had NAV for Exchange.  I would try and do some more checking, maybe even a call to Symantec, regarding the attachment blocking.  It is hard to understand that it would limit you on the number of attachments it can block, but there are plenty of things that we don’t understand whey they are.  Hope you get this resolved.   Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems, Inc.   -----Original Message----- From: Rudy Lovato [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 10:31 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Viruses   I figured it had to be the client if it wasn't the server.  Thanx -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Winzenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 7:50 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Viruses NO!  It blocks them on the Client side.  You are, after all, relying on a security patch on the Client to enforce those settings.  Blocking them on the server is having an AV package strip them as they are scanned, before they get into the Information Store.  More clear?   Ben Winzenz, MCSE Network/Systems Administrator Peregrine Systems, Inc.   -----Original Message----- From: Rudy Lovato [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 9:38 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Viruses   Alright, help me out here...  So the admin pack does not block them on the server???? -----Original Message----- From: Randal, Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 7:34 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Viruses That's not blocking them on the server!   Phil --------------------------------------------- Phil Randal Network Engineer Herefordshire Council Hereford, UK -----Original Message----- From: MHR(Michael Ross) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 September 2001 14:16 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Viruses If you have the lastest security patches installed, you can use the FREE admin pack to specify what file attachments to block. http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm -----Original Message----- From: Randal, Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 8:11 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Email Viruses   You could try unplugging the network cable... --------------------------------------------- Phil Randal Network Engineer Herefordshire Council Hereford, UK > -----Original Message----- > From: Rudy Lovato [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 26 September 2001 14:01 > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Email Viruses > > > Is there a free program that will block attachments on the > Exchange server? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Penrod [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:52 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Email Viruses > > > I block these: vbs, exe, bat, js, vbe, wsf, wsh, hta, shs, > com, pif, cmd, > reg, scr, chm, asx, wmd, wmz, lnk, eml and nws > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rudy Lovato [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 1:44 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: Email Viruses > > > > Anybody have any ideas on what extensions to block for > viruses....  I have > (.vbs, .bat, .com, .exe, .vbe, .dll, .mp3) any others?????  > > Thanx > > Rudy Lovato > Heel, Inc. > (505) 293-3843 Ext. 7025 >  <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > List Charter and FAQ at: > http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm > > > > List Charter and FAQ at: > http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm > > List Charter and FAQ at: > http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm > List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
