The trouble is that the alternatives to forbidding and filtering attachments are (a) list the allowed types--by MIME encoding, which is neither predictable nor restrictable; or (b) allow them all. If you can get away with forbidding them, that's great. I can't, so when policing the types failed, I wound up allowing them all. The one type of attachment I'd dearly love to block is ZIP files, because they cannot be screened for viruses. But ZIP files can use a generic MIME encoding for application data that's also widely used for spreadsheet formats required by my lists. If we could screen by file extension instead of MIME descriptions, we'd be a lot safer.
