Thanks Alex! I am getting closer. I now have Forefront setup with a File Filter to block certain attachments. The email still goes through, but the attached file is replaced with a .txt file with the following message....
FILE QUARANTINED Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server removed a file since it was found to match a filter. File name: "Copy of reports.mdb" Filter name: "FILE FILTER= Custom stripped file extensions: *.mdb*" Sooo, the user is now aware a file was blocked for them. The problem is though, IF it's legitimate, I still can't release it. When I select the DELIVER button along with the Original Recipients option, nothing happens. The original email never hits my Inbox. Under Filtering, I have File Filter = Enabled Action = Delete: Remove Contents Quarantine Files is checked. Under my General Options Deliver from Quarantine Security: = Compatibility Mode I've tried changing the Action to Skip: detect only But all that does is send the original message through with no attachment and no indication a file was blocked. Hmm.

I currently have the box selected to "Quarantine Files". The problem is, when I want to release a legitimate business file that has been quarantined, and I select the DELIVER option, it just re-quarantines the file. How can I set it up so that the DELIVER option actually works without re-quarantining? Thanks. Rob
