Seconded!
MailScanner caught nearly 1000 copies of Sobig-F before I got the Sophos
update around the mail servers because we don't allow .pif or .scr.

I have to say that I'm not using the filetype stuff because we haven't
got an official policy to block executables and other stuff but I
wouldn't be without a block on .pif etc! (We allow .exe)

Cheers,

Martin
