Is there a way to block any internet e-mails that come with certain types of attachments? We don't want some or all of our users to use the server as a dumping ground for toys. Can it be done? Thanks.
 
We used Antigen for Exchange to do that, after pulling an all nighter to recover from the loveletter virus we were able to convince the CTO to spend the 2 grand to set it up. It will filter known viruses and attachement types you specify. (Will allow you to deliver them if something is blocked out that is not a toy). You can also use it to scan mailboxes for attachement types or viruses.
