That's a good opinion. It would have to be a user level thing, I would think. -----Original Message----- From: Edward Sullivan [mailto:esullivan@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 11:48 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Pop Ups/Under Advertisements http://www.ISAserver.org Hmm...personally I think this is too iron-clad of an approach. For example, surf to MSNBC, CNN, Buy.com, or Amazon and friendly pop-ups appear. Make a transaction on any of these sites and pop-ups appear to verify credit card validation codes, shipping info, etc. Making a purchase at Dell.com would be impossible if pop-ups were blocked. Does this mean that you want to institute a policy that your users cannot make any online purchases while at the workplace? Obviously, something that supports rule-based management would be optimal, but from experience I can tell you that sifting through 10,000+ spam messages per week to confirm that my GFI MailEssentials rules are working is time consuming enough - I wouldn't want to add another level of checking popup rulesets with a theoretical popup server-side product. Course, that is my take on this. I am interested to see what others think on this issue... -----Original Message----- From: Friese, Casey [mailto:cfriese@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 10:31 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Pop Ups/Under Advertisements http://www.ISAserver.org I share the same feeling and if a server side app exist for this purpose, there should be a means to only apply it to certain users or through group policies. -----Original Message----- From: David V.

One VP here was very angry when an online order was screwed up due to pop-up blocking software blocking the final transaction process. Is blocking pop-ups best done at the client level (where the user has control) or server-side? Anyone else have any feedback on this?
