My first inclination was to cut the line.  And in the end I just might
have to do that to be sure that he isn't connecting. =20

The antivirus that is already on his machine will scan downloads and
pop3 but if he gets a virus for switch there isn't a definition yet we
are screwed.  That's why we filter attachments through our corporate
firewall.

Question is there a way to filter attachments on pop3 accounts?

You could push an anti-virus product that will scan downloads and pop3
email to his station.=3D20
