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