To Allow or Not Allow E-Mail Attachments?

t0pper311 asks: "I work for a pretty large utility company in the midwest and of course, security is a big concern. We use Trend Micro as a mail gateway to basically scan for virii and strip off most attachments like executables or VB script. Now with the Sobig.E virus on the loose, we need to ask ourselves if we should be blocking ZIP files. We got lucky this time and were not effected, but what about next time? What are other companies doing? If you do block ZIP files, how do you give the people who need to sends files the ability to do so? Do you allow any attachments at all?"

You just make yourself sound like a retard when you write "virii". Like people who say "nucular" instead of nuclear and "Legos" instead of "Lego".

The plural of a "Lego block" is "Lego blocks". Saying the plural of "Lego block" is "Lego" is like saying the plural of "Ford car" is "Ford."

Bah.
