RE: [FW1] Blocking vbs attachments in sp2




I am saying that you can strip mime types, not by extension.
If you strip mime type application/octet-stream, it will strip .exe, .bmp,
.vbs and many others. The problem is that by stripping this mime type you
may strip some things you do not wish to strip. It is like surgery with a
sledge hammer. It is a good option for those who do not have the budget for
mimesweeper.
Having said this, if you have mimesweeper or trend micros emanager, you can
get much more granular, and you can quarantine attachments with this
products.

Interesting. Are you saying that Firewall Checkpoint can be used to stripe
away VBS attachment..........without the need of MIMESWEEP tool at all ?

You can strip mime type application/octet-stream.

You would do this when you define an smtp resource.
