I have one HUB server and 5 cluster domino mail serversUsers in my company keep sending funny exe files

We want to block/disallow user from sending/receiving exe files

Is it possible to restrict file attachment?

hi,

one possibility on the developers site would be to edit the mail-template and to check the attachment extension there.

in case of exe-files u can prompt the user “to stop that silly sh*t” ;-)) or some like that

Hi.

Use rules on Your mail-servers to block attachments of this kind.

From Your Admin client go into:

Configuration->messaging->messagins settings->messaging settings->Restrictions and controls->rules

Create a rule os Your servers saying “when any attachment name contains .exe, don’t accept message”

For me this works fine. The message containing this type of attachment is blocked on server, and sender is notified with a message.

Hope this helps.
