Probably not what you're looking for, but I've added your domain to my list of blocked domains because you present yourself as someone who doesn't understand the importance of this process, nor the nature of infected payloads, regardless of the wrapping they come in. Password protected archives are a common way to distribute viruses.

Care to offer anything more constructive than just hostility? Why don't you tell us what you would recommend?


If a customer wants to send and/or receive any file that is on the banned list, how would you handle it? That's why I'm investigating this issue: trying to find the best solution.

The options I see so far are:

1) Make them use hosting space, via HTTP/FTP, and don't allow emailing of banned file types at all.
2) Make them PGP encrypt their files.
3) Make them rename files.


At the moment, it sounds to me like option #3 may be a reasonable one. Option #1 isn't bad, either. But if you still think my questions or choices are so bad that you have to blacklist our entire company, please at least explain what your choices would be instead.
