The Spam Filter Portal has some default handling of email attachments that are designed to keep our Users safe from malware, virus, and other type of attachments that are commonly sent by the bad guys. It is good to be aware of these filters in case you do have a legitimate sender trying to send you an attachment that matches any of these criteria:
Unsafe attachments
Quarantine emails that have potentially unsafe attachment files that end with any of the following extensions: exe, cab, msi, app, bat, dll, hta, inf', js, jse, lnk, ocx, pif, reg, scr, url, vbs, ws, wsc, wsf
This filter is strongly recommended!
Unsafe attachments inside of archive files
Quarantine emails that have a zip, rar or 7z attachment that contains a single potentially unsafe file inside. Potentially unsafe attachments include files with the following extenions: exe, cab, msi, app, bat, dll, hta, inf, js, jse, lnk, ocx, pif, reg, scr, url, vbs, ws, wsc, wsf
This filter is strongly recommended!
