Hi there everyone,

I want to block certain attachments coming in via e-mail. My setup is: SBS 2000 with Exchange2000 and ISA server. All 3 on the same computer. All SPs are installed.
I would like to stop all e-mails with attachments that havethe following extensions: *.exe and *.scr. Could someone please let me know where I can set Exchange up to stop those mails. I am having a serious problem with attachments like that.

Thank you all

There is no built in option to exchange for attachment blocking. You can use an antivirus program like symantec, Trend Micro's Scanmail, or GFI's Mail Security to block attachments.

If you don't want to spend the money, the best thing to do isto either have all your users use outlook xp which blocks by default all malicious attachments. If you use Exchange, you can legally use any version of outlook as its license is included with every exchange CAL.

or have your outlook 2000 with the latest service packs of Office 2000. Sp3 for Office 2000 does attachment blocking. You can get it at office.microsoft.com
