Email Filter - Email Attachment Filter

The attachment filter is positioned to reject messages with certain types of file attachments before they enter your current messaging infrastructure. This feature insures potentially destructive files, such as “.vbs”, “.scr”, “.exe”, etc. do not gain access to the customer's network.

Administrators can add or delete file types as well as file names in order to fine-tune the filter. Messages with blocked attachments are sent to the quarantine for administrative review.

Attachment Filter Benefits:

• Dangerous files can be restricted and quarantined, making the work place safer
• Preventative layer of protection that is far less expensive than maintaining your own onsite filter system
• Filtered messages delivered to quarantine for review
• Reduced load on IT staff and e-mail servers
• No staff training required
• Easier to implement than any other alternative
• Potential bandwidth savings
