  Subject: Removing only Windows executables


  Excuse my ignorance in this. I have mail scanner running perfectly for
  about 10 months now (did not upgrade yet) and since there were no
  problems with it (set and forget), I have gotten "rusty" in my mail
  scanner skills. I have a situation in a network where it is desired to
  scan all mails but to completely block Windows executable files. Don't
  even need to scan them, just to remove them. Management has decided that
  no one should receive executables The important fact here is that this
  is valid even if they are zipped or renamed. I'm not talking about a
  batch file but just EXE or COM for example. I would need to determine
  from the file header if it is an executable Windows binary or not. Is
  this possible with mail scanner in the current version? If not does
  anyone have a suggestion?

  Thanks.

  Miguel
