If you need to send an executable zip it up or change the extension to
.doc or something to get it past
One feature that Antigen has is the ability to allow ext blocking via
different routes.
Ie, you can block .EXE on the IMS, but allow them internally.

Even if you found a vendor/product that could accomplish that task, why
would you want to send out an attachment that 95% of other systems would
just block anyway.

Bill - In the few instances I needed to do this I renamed the .exe to
something like .exe1 and sent it. I instructed the receiver to rename the
file back to .exe when they get it. Not too efficient but it works.
Thanks,

the contents of .zip's, so I assume others do as well.

Bill we had the same condundrum for a while. We actually use 2 different A/Vs for
smtp. Symantec's gateway is ouri nbound smtp router, and then symantec's AV for
Exchange.
We configured the gateway to block exe's, and left the internal alone. That is, until

Thanks All..
yeah it's all what I though...I was hoping maybe someone had a reg
hack/feature for other vendors AV
to make exceptions of EXE's etc
I can think of no good reason to send an executable in mail. Send a link to
an FTP/HTTP server instead. Problem solved.

I think Antigen could be set to allow the good exes through if they all
have a similar pattern to the file name. For instance if they have names
like GOODFILE0023.EXE you could add an entry in the file filter for
GOODFILE*.EXE

Until someone figures out the trick. Then the bad.exe comes in as good.exe.
Don't open the door even a little; keep it closed and locked. Use
alternative methods.
