To all those following this thread.
I just want to make my point of view clear about this subject with my .02
cents worth included.......
I DO NOT have a have any problem at all about letting compressed files
through my mail servers that are running NOD32 as a Virus scanner or at the
very least a quarantine system for suss files.
Why start blocking compressed file extensions?, start messing with and
restricting what should and can be an open form of communication in such a
manner and the system becomes a hassle for the user instead of a useful
tool....
Patch all machines, firewall/s, good virus scanner software, backups and
fall over plans are of a lot more use than draconian filters in my view.
Sean.
