You have to be very, very careful when trying to use filters to block
files. It works some of the time, but not all of the time. Those rules
will miss quite a few attachments, and will catch quite a few legitimate
E-mails.
Specifically, any E-mail with "filename=" in it (most E-mails with an
attachment) as well as ".com" (which is in many E-mails, with references
such as "List Archive:
http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/";) will get
caught.
Unfortunately, you aren't going to receive this E-mail if you still have
that rule in place -- and that's another reason why so many people have
this problem. If you have a bad rule in place, you can't get advice
about
it, without the sender jumping through hoops trying to bypass your
filters.
