Ah, I noticed what was missing rather than what was excessive. Yes, we allow .TXT files as well as .JPEG and .GIF files. Not sure about the video formats; I think we block them but I'd have to go look at the list to be sure.
We also allow .ZIP files (because we receive quite a few from legitimate sources) but we scan them at the server and at the desktop with different A/V products. Aloha, -Ben- Ben M.
