We block them on our mail gateway for inbound messages but do not restrict attachments internally. This gives us a good balance of protection vs ease of use. <br /><br />However I work in a world-wide company with a single point of entry for all emails, but multiple internal servers. If you only have the one or two servers that do everything it's a bit harder.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167396174428055475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17199472.post-19416013235350157302010-08-25T11:45:18.253+10:002010-08-25T11:45:18.253+10:00Thank you Michelle.

They are frequently abused by malware.Gavin Bollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833941398375568706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17199472.post-68289816381969321952010-08-25T11:41:30.024+10:002010-08-25T11:41:30.024+10:00Sorry Gavin - mean't in Windows Explorer in my...Sorry Gavin - mean't in Windows Explorer in my last comment.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167396174428055475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17199472.post-39166854145383264552010-08-25T11:40:56.292+10:002010-08-25T11:40:56.292+10:00What about right-clicking on a file in IE, choosin...What about right-clicking on a file in IE, choosing Create Shortcut, then dragging the shortcut to an email.<br /><br />Does that work for you?
