But even in Declude's virus.cfg file it says
#
# The BANEXT EZIP line blocks all encrypted .ZIP and .RAR files, which
is necessary
# to be fully protected against viruses (since it is impossible to
detect a well-
# constructed virus within an encrypted .ZIP or .RAR file).
#
Should I ban EZIPs or not? I always thought I had to. It'd be nice to
be able to allow them through since creating password-protected ZIP
files is one of the easiest ways to add a decent amount of security to
email attachments.

FYI, I do not ban EZIP outright. What I do is BANEZIPEXTs which will ban an
EZIP file containing a file that is banned.

Subject: [Declude.Virus] Slightly OT: Encrypting or Securing Email Content
We're looking for a simple way to opportunistically allow our users to
encrypt or password-protect certain emails and/or their attachments that
contain sensitive data. We're running Declude Pro and have banned EZIP
extensions (the highly recommended suggestion from several people on
this forum), so that kinda rules out PKZIP and any kind of ZIP program
(because as soon as you password-protect a ZIP file, it becomes an EZIP
file). We looked at PGP, but it seems very complex and seems to require
a hardware proxy in between our mail server and the Net. Is there a
simple and effective way to encrypt or password protect documents for
email transmission that doesn't cause problems with Imail or Declude and
doesn't require software to be installed on the recipient's end?
Thanks.
Kevin
