There are gateway scanning products that you can use. Your AV vendor may offer one. The other thing could be to delete all emails w/ certain attachments (don't quarantine). We delete all attachments (and the email itself) for anything coming in for exe,com,bat,pif,scr,vbs. It cuts down on the work the av products spends scanning. Your AV program on exchange should allow you to do attachment blocking. If it doesn't I'd suggest investing in something more current.

I received almost 1000 attachments for the last two days. Fortunately the server is blocking them all. Exchange 5.5 with SP4. Is there a way to somehow block those emails to even get to my server? Am I just dreaming? Thanks in advance.
