Thanks for the link. Looks like I've installed the message screener
without knowing it because it is already there and it is what I used to
configure ISA to filter for the attachments in the first place. Now I
guess I need to test it to see why it misses some attachments. It may be
the html problem.

Yes, it is a separate component.
Check out the ISA help ( and the readme.htm on the CD ).
Also, there are some good articles at www.isaserver.org regarding hot-to
and
gotchas for the message screener.

Message screener? Is this a different component from the SMTP filter?
Where is it located?

Are you using the message screener?
It's required to examine email contents.
Also, it's very bad at scanning HTML-formatted email (doesn't work at
all).

I have the SMTP filter set to filter out attachments with extensions of
.pif and .scr. We were getting about 150 sobig emails a day with these
attachments and Symantec was taking up way too much processing power in
scanning these, so I turned to the SMTP filter. It's not working though,
the files are still getting through. I restarted the Firewall service as
instructed. Is there something else or does this filter not catch
everything?
