RE: Blocking files extentions
Huh? $1K-$2K?? What are *you* buying? Maybe a better question is, How many (or few as the case may be) mailboxes are you supporting? We spend about $5K on Antigen...another 30K + - on NAI stuffwe still get idiots opening the attachments. Calling it negligence might be a bit strong. Especially if you get bit one day. %^) I think getting a virus hit is like having a hard drive die. 2 basic types of people.those that have and those that will.

Re: Blocking files extentions
Do you have a mail filtering software? I know that in antigen it will reject or remove that file.

RE: Blocking files extentions
Outlook XP on the clients can do it, but its already too late anyway. You can use antigen (lists fav), mail essentials (my fav), or NAV for Exchange/gateways with the filtering options on via regedit. -Original Message- From: Brenda Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 11:19 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Blocking files extentions Can anyone tell me how to block certain file extentions so Exchange rejects them?
