Whitelist on word documents

[Michele Neylon :: Blacknight Solutions]

> Isn't that a bit dangerous?

No. All attachments that are allowed are scanned for viruses, so there is no
danger.
I think you may be confusing the functions.

>I tend to like the idea of deny all and allow only what you wish.

A lot would depend on your environment, but if we blocked all Word documents
by default we'd lose a lot of clients.
