If your MX is a *nix box, try John Hardin's Email Sanitizer (http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html). It's "mangles" matching attachment extenstions as well as change to MIME type to that of plain text so they won't be executed. No data is lost or harmed with it but it is very effective. The mailing list is very active as well.

I stand corrected, blocking of specific file attachments via interscan viruswall requires emanager and is only available for solaris and nt http://solutionbank.antivirus.com/solutions/solutionDetail.asp?solutionID=60 84 for instructions or http://www.trend.com/products/isem/ for product info. The solaris version blocks the entire message, while the nt version is able to block the attachment specifically. I have never had need to use the cvp version, and asside from having to edit my intscan.ini file to force passiveftp, I had no quirks in my deployment.Thanks, Michael J.

Can you give me a hint on that? To my knowledge only HTML is configurable to block "Exec" (.exe .com .dll) and "Java" - no filetypes. Nothing at all can be found for E-Mail. Help!?
