Subject: Mail host blocks incoming MDB filesOS: Linux (mail server)CPU/Ram: i686 |
Comment: My email host is blocking Microsoft Access MDB files as attachments on incoming email messages. They claim they are a security risk, and bounce them back to the sender with a recommendation to ZIP them! (And no notice to me that the blocked a message.) They claim it's the default setting of their EXIM mail software, and I have not been able to get them to do anything about it yet. I have received hundreds of infected ZIP files and never an infected MDB file. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?
