A compromise we've adopted: We're just dropping ZIP files under 64K, and telling users who need to send a ZIP legitimately that they need to add enough files to make it bigger than that. Something else we're considering: Allowing users to put a specific token on the Subject: line which will allow a small ZIP through, and possibly other "unsafe" extensions that are normally blocked. If the token is complex enough and specific to our site, it's unlikely a mass-mailing virus would use it. P.S. Someone said they're using action_bounce -- PLEASE use action_discard so you don't contribute to the problem. All these modern viruses forge the From: address... alerts are useless. Just drop it. -- Brent J.
