Re: Question re: inbound executable files

[Brian Reilly <reillyb () GEORGETOWN EDU>]

Connie,

We are considering blocking all of the Microsoft "Level 1"
(http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q262/6/31.asp)
attachment types and a few others though our primary mailservers.  If
others have gone down that road, I'd be interested in any feedback you
might have.

We've been blocking the specific filenames associated with various
email-borne viruses for awhile now, with little to no negative impact.
