CHM is a must have. HTM and HTML is a hard one. There have been times I have blocked them, but only temp until we can get a virus def. I think that is going to be a hard one to pull off.

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?
