I really see no reason why you could not allow a .csv file as long as you have fingerprinting turned on, this way someone couldn’t rename a .exe or something to have an extension of .csv and send the file through the server. 

 

I am not sure if whitelisting will allow a user to bypass attachment scanning, my feeling is probably no as you don’t want any user sending unapproved file types through your network.

Subject: [Modus] whitelists and attachments

 

We have a vendor who sends .csv files regularly. These are blocked by attachement type. Since we need to get these and neither the sender nor recipient are terribly computer literate I'm lookin for a solution other than renaming the attachment for transmission. Would whitelisting the sender bypass the scanning by attachment type?

 

My other option is to allow .csv files. Any danger in that?

 

Thanks as always,
