Blocking Attachments In Mail

[hindixp]

Hi,

Is there any option through which i can block certain type of attachment for emails.

 

If this can be done, will it be limited to specific account or would affect all accounts on a domain.

I'd like to be able to do this to. I could care less about .zip files and all the viruses contained in them. I just want to block all email with a .zip attached. If I need something, I'll FTP it, or unblock the .zip temporarily. Please, how can I block these attachments before it hits one of my PC's when downloading my mail?!

Well if you don't care about any attachments you could always set up a rule in your email client for messages with attachments to be deleted from the server and not downloaded. I don't think you can specify the attachment type though.

Yup, I could do that. But in that case, my virus checker catches them anyway.

 

But, 1) not all my PC's on my home business network have their virus definitions updated as often as they should be, 2) using Horde while on the road lets them all in, no scanning of those emails as they are opened.

 

I know enough not to open the attachments, but not everyone does. Would like to just strip them at the server level, as is done for other certain attachment types (.eml, .exe, etc). Would like to be able to configure these things, even better would be to configure at a user level. For example, if I have a user I don't want receiving .jpg as attachments in email, I'd like to block it.

 

Thanks!
