Hi Amy,
Is it catching some of the attachments? If so, then its working and it
might be related to an HTML issue, although I'm not sure HTML mail is an
issue with attachments.
HTH,

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?
