Hello all:

Does anyone know of a web resource that gives a detailed explanation of how
to set up ISA Server to strip off email attachments? We currently use our
ISP's mail server and connect to it using the pop3 connector.

Thanks,

Chas Armstrong

ISA SMTP filter does only work on SMTP, not on POP3. There is no way you can
strip off attachments on ISA for POP mail. In SBS 2003 there is an option in
Exchange 2003 that will allow you to block attachments but I doubt this
works on POP mail....gonna test that tonight :-)

Hey,

Thanks for the timely reply - I guess we'll have to configure Outlook to do
this for us. We had not done this previously because Outlook was blocking
some attachments that we wanted to receive... I suppose a workaround would
be to enable just one machine to receive the attachments, and let only those
who know what they are doing use that machine...pity.

But if you have some sort of Exchange aware A/V attachments can be stripped off
using that interface.

Honestly you SHOULD have an Exchange aware A/V that monitors and filters the
attachments.
