email attachment extensions list (was: couldn't find old threads)

Aleph

About a year ago or longer, I remember coming across a thread about attachments that are automatically filtered out by PZ's server. Jim gave a listing the file extensions that will be block and deleted too. I only recalled a few like .vbs, .bat, .exe and .com but there are a lot more.

I tried searching the forum and couldn't find it and I don't seems to be able to locate it on PZ web site too. Does anyone recall that list?

I found one post: http://www.page-zone.com/forums/show...=7306#post7306
There was a message from Jim about this too. Coudn't find that.

I pulled this list from a thread. I searched for "attachment jim."

Thanks edwurster! I was trying to be smart and thought searching for "js" or vbs" would nailed it. Didn't recall the jse and vb[se] unfortunately.

A client was asking me and I had to tell him what files are to be avoided. Thank you.

I think that's the same one. In any event, this can be added to the knowledgebase and the forum FAQ section.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea to me.

Thanks too, stratplan!
