You can quarantine the attachments to a mailbox and then deliver if it is not infected.

RE: Attachment blocking Now what!
We block a wide variety of attachments that are potentially harmful, but in general allow .jpg, .gif, .avi. mpeg, etc so that our file filter doesn't get hit too hard and it tends to placate our users a bit. However, if a user needs a file that is in our file filter... we inform them (or the sender) to send the files in a password protected zip file. This allows it to get by the file filter. BTW... here's our list of blocked attachments: ADE;ADP;ASX;BAS;BAT;BIN;CHM;CMD;COM;CPL;CRT;DLL;EML;EXE;HIV;HLP;HTA;INF;INS;ISP;JS;JSE;JTD;MSC;MSI;MSP;MST;NWS;OCX;OFT;OVL;PCD;PIF;PL;PLX;REG;SCR;SCT;SH;SHB;SHS;SYS;VB;VBE;VBS;VSS;VST;VXD;WSC;WSF;WSH Now... if antigen would only support cut and paste file filtering options!!

We make them ZIP them up...or just rename it I guess since Trend ScanMail doesn't actually check the format, at least not version 3.61. I'm planning to upgrade to 3.8 to see if it makes a difference though. The other alternative for large files (we have a 15MB limit on our message size) is to use FTP. -Original Message- From: Eldridge, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 10:13 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject:Attachment blocking Now what!

RE: Attachment blocking Now what!
On our test server we upgraded from ScanMail 3.6 to 3.8 and found that it had trouble doing the file-blocking. It would Stop EXE files for example but not VBS. Haven't had a chance to fully look into it yet, but it's something I would recomment to check out.

RE: Attachment blocking, OWA for E2k3
You can change which file types are allowed or disallowed with OWAAdmin. http://weblogs.asp.net/conrad/archive/2005/01/19/355871.aspx "Attachment Handling - Provide the ability to Disable Attachments (Allow all attachments (default), Allow attachment access through back-end servers, and Do not allow attachments). You can also specify if you want a specific Front-End server to be the "pass through" for all attachments. You're also able to define what File Types are disallowed. There is already a long list, but you can add or remove file extensions from that list." -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 5:41 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Attachment blocking, OWA for E2k3 I've seen this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124108(EXCHG.65).aspx Is the default attachment blocking in OWA absolute?
