well; I don't think that stripping attachments is a job for ASSP, all in all such a feature has nothing to do with junk email filtering :) it's more something which should be done at the MTA level; and there already are programs which allow you to do so, for Exchange there is http://www.madsolutions.com/ES/Main.htm which allows to strip off the attachments and replace them with an URL or an SMB path for other mailserver you may use scripts or the like On the other hand, attachment *blocking* imVHo is good to have and isn't "something from the past" :) consider that recent malware mutates quickly, so an AV may not be able to detect a new variant of a given worm; this in turn means that blocking "executable" mail attachments (especially if coming from "the outside") isn't a bad idea at all ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Assp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-user
