administration, I wanted to see if anyone could comment on whether they are, or are not, blocking zip's and other attachments
Hi John, At Indiana University, we're blocking zip files and a long list of other executable content attachments. We began blocking most of these late last year and have had very little push back from our users. If you would like the entire list that we're currently blocking, contact me off-list and I'll be happy to share those with you. - -- Tom Davis, Information Technology Security Officer, CISSP, CISM Office of the VP for Information Technology, Indiana University PGP key or S/MIME certificate: https://www.itso.iu.edu/staff/tdavis/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.3 iQA/AwUBQSX0q3MQ7XQGtBENEQK8vgCfZDVCcc3EOXI29D1+9cID6yZYlT4An0J/ D5cHj1W0v118xwJgiaBQvWWQ =Vgj5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/.
