Since I'm not an expert on mime types, the list configuration doesn't perfectly block all attachments. The intention has always been to block ALL attachments, but now that lots of mail is nothing but attachments, I've had to let some things pass, or I get complaints like "Hey! my new Microsoft Outlook mail client with the full monty media options all switched on isn't able to post messages to MapInfo-L!!!!!" (note the five bangs... sure sign of an unbalanced mind, so I tend to try to keep everyone happy.) You can probably slip all kinds of things in past the filters at the moment. I'd kind of like to allow some things through (especially one or two image formats, because that can really be helpful to a visually oriented group like this) so I haven't worried much about it, and there's been no problems. But now that the secret's out, what do people think? Should we worry about attachments or not? Should the list provide an open conduit (only to members) and leave the security checking up to each members discretion? - Bill Thoen _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
