Outlook 2000 SR-1 Attachment Blocking

HI

By default SR1 and above will block all the executable attachment like .com, .bat,.exe.
You need zip it and change to another extension if you want to send or if you have outlook 2000 go tool and option and security and change the setting there.

If you apply Office 2000 SP3 this will fix the problem

Basically now when you receive an attachment you will be warned but prompted to save the file and subsequently open it

Another alternative is to open the email message with the 'blocked' message in Outlook Express where you can open it straight from the email itself as the blocked file is not actually deleted but just hidden from view in Outlook

Hope this helps

I am referring to this document at microsoft site.. OL2000: Administrator Information About the Outlook E-mail Security Update. It's Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 263297
and is located at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q263297#WR
Have anyone tried this ?
