<DIV><SPAN class=883472619-03072002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
a issue where a department is usually sending *.reg files to itself.. ex: <A
href="mailto:joeshmoe@hotdogs.com">joeshmoe@hotdogs.com</A> sending to >>
<A href="mailto:jim@hotdogs.com">jim@hotdogs.com</A>; <A
href="mailto:joe@hotdogs.com">joe@hotdogs.com</A>; <A
href="mailto:brian@hotdogs.com">brian@hotdogs.com</A> with a .reg extension
attachment that mailscanner always scoops up. . Gee I guess I'm hungry to use
this as a dumb example.. Is there a way to NOT scan mail sent to and from its
own domain peers? And have mailscanner just scan mail that's departing from its
domain and entering its domain instead? Im afriad to allow .reg files to be left
alone and have someone send us a .reg extention virus from outside our
domain.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
