Why would it "take a hell of a lot of doing though"? Err... isn't every attachment analysed already??

it's a nice thought.....it'd take a hell of a lot of doing though....you'd be looking at opening every single attachment that comes through, and analysing it to determine what file type it is....Can't see that having a good effect on performance...

What do you mean? Something that would block a .EXE file even if the extension was changed to .XXX?

Hmmmm.....interesting.

NAV for Exchange can do this with a registry tweak.. Its in the read me.
What id like is software that filters file types without using extentions.

Your Exchange aware Antivirus SW should be able to do this. What are you using?

Hi there,

We are using Exchange Server 5.5 SP3 on a Windows NT Server 4.0 SP6. Clients are using Outlook 97. Is there a way to prevent users from sending attachment of a specific filetype ? For instance *.mpeg, *.avi an so on ? Both internal and external mail.

Regards,
