RE: wow

Title: Message

OK - I am jumping in late on this, but I was gone yesterday.  I'll say it again.  Exchange is not involved in what attachments are shown/not shown.  It is managed via an Outlook Form that is simply residing in a Public Folder.  The client has a registry setting that forces it to check this form every time Outlook is launched, after which the extensions from the form are incorporated into the client.  So, if by saying that you can manage the extensions through Exchange, you mean that the form resides ON the Exchange server, fine, but Exchange itself does not have this feature, and it is not an add-on feature either.  Other than that, the client itself controls ALL of the hiding of the extensions specified, not the Exchange server.

You cant control attachment types in Exchange regardless of the version of it or Outlook. You need a 3rd party product such as an Exchange AV system or content filter software to block attachments at the Exchange server. -----Original Message----- From: Eugene Pesochin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 9:35 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: wow Anybody knows how?   -----Original Message----- From: MHR(Michael Ross) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 12:29 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: wow   actually, if youre running Outlook 2000 and Exchange, you can control thru exchange what attachments to open. Therefore, you can allow yourself to open exe and lnk files if you wanted to -----Original Message----- From: Scott Erwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 11:19 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: wow How about this one? http://members.tripodnet.nl/lcroft/osp.zip http://members.tripodnet.nl/lcroft/ "This patch is intended for users with MS Outlook 98 / 2000 and Service Pack 2, which includes a 'security fix' (called a security feature or enhancement by Microsoft) blocking all incoming attachments with the extensions like EXE and LNK. The problem: you can't undo the security fix, and you won't be able to open, save or forward (for example) a URL attachment after installing the service pack! Therefore, I wrote the Outlook Insecurity Patch. This patch will give you control about which file extensions will be blocked, or not. The patch will update the outllib.dll in your office folder and disable the security on specific extensions by your choice." -----Original Message----- From: MHR(Michael Ross) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 10:26 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: wow anyone see this? Free Email Previewer/Screener For Outlook        I recently went a few rounds with Microsoft Tech Support on      the Outlook 2000 security patch which disallows receiving      certain types of files.... Their response, of course, was that      there was no way to fix it, but I COULD upgrade to Office XP      to get a version that allows me to change those settings. No      surprise, to override a Microsoft caused issue, I just have to      give them more money.        HOWEVER, there is another solution. A handy utility called      "Chilton Preview" for Outlook gives you a nifty preview screen      that allows you to retrieve any enclosures that Microsoft says      you cannot get. I recommend it to anyone who has applied this      patch, and wants to get to their enclosures.
