Re: Bagle.j out

So far we have just resorted to stripping out attachments within the ZIP
archive's.  We debated blocking ZIP's entirely until we found out how to
strip files out of password protected zips as well.

Question: has anyone resorted to dropping ZIPs and/or other attachments at
your gateways until/unless this storm passes?  I mentioned in a meeting that
I would be proposing it to my management and received the predictable
reaction, i.e., "you can't block ZIPs, we won't be able to do business."  Of
course I was not deterred but I also haven't been given clearance to block
the attachments.

Thanks,
