You're right, David... I compared my list of forbiddeen filename extensions to the one in the sample filter. My list has grown over time, and I see that .vcf's were added to our filter by our information security group a few years ago, when they added most of the list of extensions that MS considers directly executable.

This must be something you've added. Remember, MIMEDefang doesn't do anything unless you tell it to. :-) Regards, David. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
