* This is the modus mailing list * You can block file extensions to protect against virii but a lot of users will not understand that.
If you have users sending .htm files then you have a security risk. Just about any file attachment today is a potential security risk except for the most common graphic type files but a lot of virii have posed as graphic files using multiple dotted extensions such as kournikova.jpg.pif etc. The more file extensions you allow the more at risk your customers become. We allow only .doc, .jpg, .gif,.bmp and .zip files and we have no complaints, if a customers questions it we give them an explanation and we have had no issues with it.

Other than block all .zip files what are our options? We also have several users who legitimately send .htm files as attachments - if we unblock .htm will it create a major virus/security issue for users? regards - peter wimbourne ** To unsubscribe, send an Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body or subject line. ** To unsubscribe, send an Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body or subject line.
