Hi

Is there any way to block or even better redirect emails with a certain attachment name in exchange 2k3, e.g. if the attachment is "testdoc.html"?

Many thanks

Not within Exchange itself. Your anti-spam product will more than likely help you but the IMF in Exchange 2003 won't.
 
Hi

Thanks for your post.

Sorry my post was not very descriptive, its actually outbound email that I want to check.

Basically we have an attachment checking rule in GFI Mail Security which quantines some types of outbound attachements for authorisation. The only problem is it sends the original email to the recipient with a security report instead of the attachment, then when approved it sends a duplicate with an approval.

There appears to be no way to stop GFI MailSec from sending the email. It seems daft blocking the attachment blocking application from sending attachments!

Any ideas would be great, otherwise I will look to another attachment checking app.

Many Thanks
B
