Yes, we remove all executable attachment types, including within ZIP

Subject: [SECURITY] Blocking E-Mail Attachment Types

Hi All,

Forgive me if you've already seen this on another list...

Does anyone here block specific e-mail file attachment types? I'm 
curious to see how common (or uncommon) this practice is.

Thanks,
