>>> Blocking zips can cause you a little strife

 

Yeah, like bringing our business to a halt.  Seems very extreme to me.

 

I know with Symantec Mail Security, all ZIP contents are scanned.  If it
cannot be scanned and verified that included every file is clean and on the
whitelist, it is quarantined and the admin is issued an email.  This does
happen, about once every six months.  And password protected ZIPs do not get
let through, regardless.

 

I can't imagine Vipre would work any differently.  If it works as Symantec
does, I can't see the point of blocking of ZIPs.

IIRC there is a list of recommended file types (scr, exe, etc.) but we also
block bitmap and zip files. Blocking zips can cause you a little strife from
time to time (Office 2007 files sometimes get blocked in spite of the allow
rule) but we prefer to be safe not sorry.

filtering policy?  As in what is best practice to block/allow and in which
direction?

 

Thanks all!

If its working as expected, it *should* be scanning the files inside the
zip, unless its password protected, right?  I do remember a virus that
was going around with a password protected zip that caused some issues
though.
