Thanks Danny. I did a little research and found that it can possibly be done, according to Microsoft, by using Microsoft's Outlook Security Features Administrative Package that's included in the MS Office XP Resource Kit. Ever use that? Essentially, you create a public folder and modify an outlook template, then modify a GPO or manually edit the registry on the workstation. Anyone ever do it this way? ________________________________________________________________ Nef Perez Network Administrator The IDT Group 161 Leverington Ave, Suite 1003 Philadelphia, PA 19127 215.487.3743 (Phone) 215.487.3110 (Fax) nperez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx visit us at: www.theidtgroup.com -----Original Message----- From: Danny [mailto:nocmonkey@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 5:24 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: Exchange Extensions http://www.MSExchange.org/ On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 16:12:21 -0600, NPerez <nperez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > http://www.MSExchange.org/ > > Can I allow and or restrict emails with attachments with certain file > extensions through Exchange? If so, how? "Out of the box" Exchange 5.5, 2000, and 2003 do not have this functionality. You will need a third party software package such as: GFI, TrendMicro's ScanMail, Symantec Exchange AV scanner, etc -- all of the major AV vendors usually have Exchange AV solutions which enable you to block and manipulate attachments. As we continue with the server-side themes, you could also put a Postfix based email server, for example, logically in-front of the Exchange server, and easily set it up to reject specific attachments before they get to the Exchange server. In fact, I have this setup - works like a dream. On the client-side, Outlook 200x has the ability to block attachments from being opened. There is lot of documentation on the Internet on how to set this up. If you would like further information on the server-side stuff, let me know. ...D ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSEXchange.org Discussion List as: nperez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
