Julian

We have spent 2 years educating our users and their correspondents to
zip up executable/dangerous files before attaching them to a message.

They are pretty unhappy with what has happended after my upgrade to
4-28-6.1.

How can I now

1. allow non-password-protected zip archives through
AND
2. allow them to carry .exe and other executable files
AND
3. have them scanned for viruses
AND
4. and block password-protected zip files?

Thanks

Quentin
