True - but until such time as your ppl are educated as to not running
spurious attachments et al, that is a battle you will forever lose.
If a corporate policy does not exist that details what attachment types are
and are not accepted, and whom may require that type of attachment in the
course of their legitimate corporate email use, then that also is a losing
battle.
Edumacation from the top down is the only way I have found for mitigating
this, and other such issues.   Still been blue in the face a few times
before ;-)

Cheers,
        JJ
