Hi,

After making a brand new 4.3.6 non sp1 MS and testing it for weeks, it was ready to go live. I decided to put on sp1 before it went live. I tested it one more time and it now stops powerpoint files that it shouldn't.

My support company has heard of this before and in the other case it was due to a false multimedia detection. In my case it is due to binaries.

If I were to unblock binaries until a fix is available, what am I opening my network up to?

Interestingly I shut down the server for a while and then re-sent the same attachment, MS let it through. I tried again seconds later and it stopped it. This time the email was 4k bigger than the email it let through?

Any help would be most welcome.

Best wishes

Michael Curtis
