OT: Exchange, blocking file extensions

Yahoo Archive
1
If you use Outlook 2000, make sure that you update to SR1a. After
the update there is a security update called Out2ksec.exe that you
can install. This will by default disable any executable attachments
in Outlook. There is an admin tool to use with this (download from
Microsoft) that you can specify exact attachment specifications, to
allow or disallow within the filters setup with admin tool and MS
Exchange Server.

If your still using Outlook 97-98 and Exchange Server, upgrade to
Outlook 2000. It's free and a much better product. Exchange Server
required to free upgrade, contact Microsoft for CD mailing. Not
available thru download.

Hopes this helps...

Is there a tab that I am missing somewhere that will allow me to block file
extensions from coming in or going out?
An example being .mpeg.

Thank You.

Greg,
You can use the Delivery Restrictions for each mailbox to restrict mail from
& to specific mailboxes. Other then that I don't know of anything Exchange
can do by itself. If you want to do a good job of blocking mail with
attachments having specific extension, look at these to companies.

These are the 2 the Exchange user's list I belong to swear by. I will be
going that way in the near future also. There is just to many viruses out
there (to rely on users good sense) and things like .mpeg that eat your disk
space in a hurry. Another good site for Exchange and Outlook information
www.slipstick.com
Hope this helps.
