Is the Internet Connection Wizard the only way to modify
the attachment filter on SBS2003? I haven't re-run the
wizard since the initial install because I have a nagging
feeling it will reset something that it shouldn't. I would like
to manage the list of extentions that the attachment filter
strips off.

Thanks,

Hi Gordon,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup. I'm glad to working with you
again.

According to your description, I understand that you would like to modify
the attachment filter on the SBS 2003 Server. If I have misunderstood the
problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

On SBS 2003 Server, the user has the option to specify various file
attachment extensions that will be blocked by running CEICW. The list of
blocked attachments will be maintained in an XML file named
SecAttsConfig.xml, and stored in the SBS networking directory.

How do we manually allow the attachments which we know are safe go through
the SBS Server? Please perform the below steps:

1. Open Start, click Run, type %sbsprogramdir%\Networking in the Open box,
and then press ENTER.

2. In the dialog box, find the SecAttsConfig.xml file, right-click the
file and select Edit.

3. If you would like to enable the "Save removed e-mail attachments in a
folder" option and specify a folder to save these attachments. Find the
<SaveToFile Enabled="False" Location="" /> sentence, change it to
<SaveToFile Enabled="True" Location="Destination path" />.
For example, we can type c:\attachments at the Destination path.

4. If you would like to block the .mdb attachment, find the <Attachment
Enabled="True" Extension="mdb" Description="Microsoft Access program" />
sentence, change it to <Attachment Enabled="False" Extension="mdb"
Description="Microsoft Access program" />.

5. Click File in the menu, and then click Save to save the change to the
SecAttsConfig.xml file.

I appreciate your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please feel
free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Nathan Liu (MSFT)
