Avoid to save attachments in Server Data folder

I our last upgrade we notice that the Data folder has a lot of excel and doc files that are related to user’s attachments. Looks like when they do the ‘Save File …’ in some cases the file is been saved there.

Is there a way in the administration setting (policy maybe) to avoid this type of path in the save option?

Subject: Avoid to save attachments in Server Data folder

Err… No standard mail template functionality would permit users to save data to the Domino server’s data folder. Neither would any client-side code have access to this.

Whatever is causing this issue must be running on the server and leaving orphaned documents. Some possibilities: a spam or virus scanning add-on, a scheduled agent (possibly invoking VB functions), a server-side agent called from a browser session, an agent called with the LS or Java RunOnServer method.

If you take a look at the specifics of the documents this may help you guess what’s creating them.
