Do you have header/body checks that reject executable attachments?  Right
now I don't have any AV scanning on either of my IMGate or Imail boxes.  So
far, the executable test has been trapping everything like this snippet..

 In:  DATA
 Out: 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
 Out: 550 Error: Attachment name "dqtuxg.exe" not accepted with ".exe"
extension
 In:  QUIT
 Out: 221 Bye

I get a couple dozen of these daily, and I don't have to worry about missing
the latest virus-du-jour.

I do allow zips, but so far nobody has received any unexpected zip
attachments.

Gerry.
