So one should be safe opening incoming attatchments. Hi all, I am a new member of forum. Would a newcomer be warmly welcome here?

Yep that works, thats how I send pretty much every zip file now. I use gmail through thunderbird as well doing that no problems |

| 841988 | 2009-12-24 05:53:00 | I don't know that any mail provider does a virus or trojan check on attachments. Gmail and others attempt to filter spam though and some are better than others in that regard. A decent virus checker should stop virus when you attempt to open the attachment but maybe not. So don't opem attachments willy-nilly and scan them first. Of course ISPs scan attachments, would be a bit pointless otherwise as that is where most email viruses reside. |

| 841989 | 2009-12-24 06:16:00 | Untangle is *amazing* for it's transparent scanning ... ISP's should just whack up something like that to tag email transparently. Seriously, no configuration, it's absolutely marvellous!!! Thus far in the deployment that I did a week or so ago, there's not been one single false detection yet! |
