Yes, we have a file filter setup with FOSE too... We have a shorter list of blocked types, but basic executable content / scripts are the same targets...
Of course, sometimes there are legit reasons for sending a quick executable, vbscript file, test driver, or whatever through email... (We have a number of PLC developers in house, plus a few app developers...) We tell folks that if someone from the outside needs to send one of the blocked file types, zip it (rar it, whatever). Our users understand that it's clearly up to them to vet the archive files they get before opening them. -----Original Message----- From: McCready, Rob [mailto:rob.mccrea...@dplinc.com] Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 3:24 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Forefr0nt Secur1ty for Exchange Does anybody else have a "File Filter" setup on Forefront Security for Exchange to automatically block certain attachments? We are using Forefront with 5 different virus scanning engines and are automatically blocking/purging any of the below attachments. Recently, we started having a complaint or two about people missing needed files. I'm just wondering if we might be on overkill....
