Hi;
Believe it or not we have not had that case brought out.. I know exactly what you are talking about.  We block the following extensions.  No questions or options given.
 
================
BANEXT  ASD
BANEXT  ASP
BANEXT  BAT
BANEXT  CAB
BANEXT  CHM
BANEXT  CMD
BANEXT  DLL
BANEXT  SCR
BANEXT  EXE
BANEXT  EML
BANEXT  JS
BANEXT  NWS
BANEXT  OCX
BANEXT  PIF
BANEXT  SHS
BANEXT  SYS
BANEXT  VBE
BANEXT  VBS
BANEXT  VBX
BANEXT  WSF
BANEXT  WSH
BANEXT  XML
===================
 
We offer our services to a large number of charities & organizations (for our company ClickandPledge.com).  Typically nonprofits and organizations are not technically savvy and such issues never rise.  For our own team and developers we simply use FTP to accomplish the issue you raised.
 
We receive over 100+ viruses daily (90% KLEZ) and a number of viruses that were not even listed by virus software were blocked because of our blocking of .exe.  The inconvenience compared to the security is a no brainer for us.
 
We also use F-Prot as a secondary scanner and McAfee as the primary.
 
Regards,
Kami

What do you tell your users that want to be able to receive winzip executable files?

Hi;
 
Take a look at this:
 
 
Outlook and Outlook Express do not allow .exe extensions.  As a matter of fact with Declude we block all .exe's from even being received.
 
We suggest to our users that they should Zip it and then send Zip files if they really have to send an executable.
 
Regards,
Kami

I believe that is an OE security feature.

 

Search MS KB.

I have a user who is experiencing the following error in Outlook Express when receiving an attachment:

 

OE Version 6.00.2800.1106

 

OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: filename.exe

 

 

I am using IMail 7.13 and all the Declude products

 

 

 

Can anyone advise me on what the problem may be with OE?

 

The attachment is FINE when using web messaging into IMail

 

 

 

 

many thanks
