That is a big downfall to filtering.

So if I send you a virus in a .exe file, wrapped up in a .zip file you
won't get it?
But, if a customer sends you a cad file wrapped up in a .zip file you will?

Good point.  But those help desk folks enjoy going pc to pc, cleaning off
viruses. Gives them a chance to tinker and to display their beepers in
public. <vbg>

The virus problem has been the only problem, though (since v4r4) and we've
been able to stop that from propagating by using the filtering function
that
came with a ptf.
