Re: [IMail Forum] blocking attachments for certain email boxes

[Randy Leiker]

Sorry to jump in on the conversation here - but I'm curious.  I've heard quite a bit about using Declude on here.  What are everyone's thoughts about using Norton Anti-virus for Email Gateways?  We've been using it here with a relatively high level of success.  Is Declude recommended more often because of it's lower price & lower server requirements?   Randy     ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Hunt To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 1:28 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] blocking attachments for certain email boxes Maybe if your a ISP but 99.9% of the .exe my company receives are infected files or pornography.  But then declude is cheap insurance and works well even on a old PPro 200 Chris At 12:55 PM 8/30/01 -0400, you wrote: Blocking all exes is not a good idea IMHO. I can send you a virus in a zip file anyway. All blocking all exe's does is make life harder for end users. And if you block exe's are you going to also block pif's and com's and bat's as well? It's a road that shouldn't be gone down. Instead spend the money on Declude's (www.declude.com) antivirus solution and get F-Prot or Mcafee and you'll be doing your users a world of good.   -Josh
