NIMDA One of the vectors was a web page redirect.
Not filtering any at this point... :( As for .CHM The BRITNEY virus is using this as a vector right now... -----Original Message----- From: Bob Peitzke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 16:45 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Question on attachment filtering We are using Antigen 6.2 on our Exchange 5.5 server, with a set of filters for risky file types. We've been getting complaints from users about our filtering of "*.htm" attachments, and I'd like to get some advice on the value of this filter, or risk of disabling it. It seems a lot of our users' business partners send them html attachments. Trying to get them to change their ways would be about as frustrating as trying to get the Bush administration to prioritize the environment over energy revenue. Couldn't a scumbag e-terrorist embed a virus in an html file, and send it as an attachment that would get executed upon opening it, thus spreading the virus? And while we're on this subject, if we do continue filtering *.htm, shouldn't we also filter *.html and maybe *.chm? What are you guys doing in your shops?
