Hi,
I have Exch 5.5 sp3 (on NT4) for mail server and installed outlook 2000 on clients desktop.But one client install windows xp and outlook 2002.When I mail an exe file to a distribution list (group), everyone receives the mail and the exe file. But he only receive my mail and not the exe file, if other attachment like powerpoint file he can receive. The error message included in the email is

'Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments:PTSfull.exe'

Is therea way that I could configured so that he could receive the exe file? I mean without renaming the extension file.
Maybe configured in his desktop registry or in the Exch server ?

Yes there are things about this on the Microsoft site.

First off though, this only works if the users has the mail on the server, it won't work from a PST file.

You need to get ADMPACK.exe from the there.

This has a few files and forms, youhave to create a public folder on the mail server called Outlook Security Settings and set-up the form in there.

Finally you have to add a registry key to tell Outlook to get it's security settings from the mail server.

Stick this in a .reg file and run it:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Security]
"CheckAdminSettings"=dword:00000001

The key is different for Office 2K if they have the security patch installed.

I can e-mail you the file if you post your e-mail address it's only 216Kb.

Actually if you want me to mail it can you drop a mail to:

Chris@climax.co.uk

I'll send it from there.

Cheers
