Anyone have a good rule to filter for ".com" attachments? Obviously, a
".com" file is an executable which could do damage.  But when you use that
extension in the typical rule, (B~name=".*\.vb!s"\s|name=".*\.com"\s)...etc.
you get MANY false positives.

We are using the suggested rule to catch ".vbs" ".scr" ".pif", etc.  And
IMail is doing a terrific job of forwarding those files to a Virus checking
mailbox for further review.  It's a great "second" line of defense, as we
are also scanning for viruses at the server.  A great example is the latest
virus today... the "gone.scr".  The virus definitions didn't know about it
yet, but the rule caught it anyway.

Now I'd like to do the same thing with ".com" files.  Thanks!
