In additional to anti-virus service, SpamStopsHere offers Attachment Filtering. Many enterprise users who already have one or more levels of anti-virus protection may or may not want to subscribe to our anti-virus service for an added layer. On top of this, SpamStopsHere offers Attachment Filtering to all users. This filtering is based on the filename or file type extension of file attachments for email messages. The basic SpamStopsHere service allows you to remove all file attachments that meet a specific criteria, and have them replaced with a warning. This is useful for mitigating email based virus attacks by removing all attachment types that are executable (such as .exe, .com, .scr).

However, the enterprise user may have more advanced needs, and so features were added for them. In addition to replacing the file with a warning, Enterprise Edition users can select from our regular filter options and have the choice of REJECT, FORWARD, DELETE, and QUARANTINE. This allows much more control by your administrator, who may want to review what is being blocked or what is being sent to the domain under their control so that they can make changes or investigate any problems and enforce policy. Additionally, your organization might want to be able to block all zipped archive files (files ending in .zip), due to virus concerns but still be able to receive zipped archive files from clients where they can be forwarded somewhere to be retrieved by a trained administrator.
