Attachment Control Settings
Block attachments
with multiple
extensions
Checking this feature enables blocking of attachment in emails with multiple
extensions. Worms commonly use multiple extensions. Enabling this option will
block multiple extension attachments in incoming e-mails. It prevents infection
from new worms, and thus protects your system. Un-checking of this feature
disables blocking of attachment in emails with multiple extensions. By default
this feature is checked or enabled.
Block emails
crafted to exploit
vulnerability
Checking this feature enables blocking of emails whose sole purpose is to
exploit vulnerabilities of mail clients. Enabling this option will block emails,
which contain vulnerability like MIME, IFRAME, etc. Un-checking of this feature
disables the blocking of emails that are crafted to exploit vulnerability. By
default this feature is checked or enabled.
