Hey group is there a way to not allow certain file types to be forwarded
to a mailbox on Exchange 5.5? We are getting bombarded with large file
attachments, mostly mpg's, and need to stop it. Any suggestions besides
beating users on a regular basis?

Thanks

Todd

You could block the sender from the recipient(s). If you know who is
getting these files, send yourself a copy of their mail in the
Delivery Options for that mailbox. Find out who the sender is and
block him/her completely. If they're sending large mpegs, they can't
be sending anything too useful.

Having a user wonder why they are no longer getting mail from someone
is almost as fun as administering regular beatings.
