For the longest time, we have blocked all kinds of file types at the server, and only when ZIPs recently came to be included in virual threats did we have a dilemma. Everything else is standard fare, considering that even in Outlook XP that a user cannot even open an attached URL (with no known workaround, other than an Exchange Server)... They've at least had the graciousness to accept the standard user as unwittingly likely to open attachments. Recently, before we instituted the "dot com" variable rule, I had a user that had updated her antivirus moments before receiving a "dot com" that clearly displayed her attachment as a text file, even though the extension (showing) was "com". I cannot thank Providence enough that her McAfee caught it. Since we have the policy of denying attachments in place, I'm not quite ready to give my users ANYTHING they're likely to double-click. I'd much rather they get NOTHING.
