How can I block file attachments based on extension with Exchange 2007?
I want to block people from emailing zip files. Is there a rule or policy that I can apply on the Exchange Server?
Any helpd that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Yes, you can use attachment filter to achieve the goal. For this issue, you can
run these
commands(on Edge Server) to block
people from emailing zip
files.
Add-AttachmentFilterEntry -Name *.Zip -Type FileName
Set-AttachmentFilterListConfig -Action -Reject -RejectResponse "The attachment you included in your e-mail message was not allowed. Your e-mail message
cannot be delivered. Please remove the e-mail attachment, and send your message again."
Here is a related article for you:

If anything is unclear, please feel free to let me know and I will be glad to help.
Best Regards,
Evan

I didn't see any mention of him using an Edge server. :-(
