Configuring Attachment Blocking

You can block attachments according to a specific name or according to an attachment type. ScanMail determines attachment type by the file name extension and true file type. Block attachments with two general strategies: either block all attachments and then exclude specified attachments or specify all the attachments to block.

A brief description of the options available on this screen is available below.
