>>> Blocking zips can cause you a little strife
Yeah, like bringing our business to a halt. Seems very extreme to me. I know with Symantec Mail Security, all ZIP contents are scanned. If it cannot be scanned and verified that included every file is clean and on the whitelist, it is quarantined and the admin is issued an email. This does happen, about once every six months. And password protected ZIPs do not get let through, regardless. I can't imagine Vipre would work any differently. If it works as Symantec does, I can't see the point of blocking of ZIPs.

Blocking zips can cause you a little strife from time to time (Office 2007 files sometimes get blocked in spite of the allow rule) but we prefer to be safe not sorry.

In the process of setting it up now. Anybody care to share their attachment filtering policy? As in what is best practice to block/allow and in which direction?
