Because I am dealing with unsophisticated uses that click on anything attached.
There was so much confusion on the list at the time that I just banned all zip files, better safe than sorry. I would now need to go back and try to figure out exactly what settings I need to stop the bad stuff and allow the good stuff. I know, I know, go search the archives...... That is exactly why it is the way it is. I'm one of those people that believe telling people to go search the archives is a waste of time. Everytime I search the archives, I never find what I need and I end up asking anyway....or I ask Scott off list so I don't get ridiculed for asking (that's why I pay for a support contract, to get support). If things have settled down enough now so that it is OK to allow certain zip files to go through, I'd be happy to do that if I knew concisely how.

Why do you ban all zip files? How are they expected to conduct business if their business requires transferring files?
