I was not judging. As an email server administrator for a private company I didn't give them a choice. If you want an attachment to get through to our mail server then zip the damn thing. If you can't be bothered zipping a file then don't send it to us. After the hell I went through with NIMDA I have no sympathy for people who are lazy and won't do what is required to protect my mail server and my network.
