I just have the notification message tell them that if they really think they need that .exe file, they should contact me and I'll consider releasing it to them....for a fee of course.
I get about 4 calls a month to do this. Always one of a handful of people. Frequent flyers. J -----Original Message----- From: Bob t. Berge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 11:48 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Deperate--Still Same here, I had to remove the *.exe from the filterlist because some of our customers get zipfiles containing updated programs. I also mailed my customers they could zip files and then send them to avoid being filtered, I would have thought Sybari would atleast give you the option whether to bypass zipfiles or not. Currently I am still filtering *.exe's, but with ScanMail now ;) In ScanMail you can set the depth a zipfile is scaned for extensions, I just set it to 0 (zero) and it works fine.
