The problem is that when people block 20+ potentially dangerous file
extensions, users start to get inconvenienced.
What we're working on is an automated system that will make sure these
types of files get blocked if they are being spread by a virus (either one
that would get detected, or a new as-of-yet undetected virus), while still
allowing users to send the attachments that they need to get through.
