List of blocked File attachments
Following are the extensions blocked from being sent through our e-mail systems. These attachments have been blocked since the most recent SoBig outbreak at the beginning of the Fall 2003 semester and they are on Microsoft's "considered unsafe" list. If you need to email an attachment with one of the following extensions, you can replace the actual extension with ".txt". You should include instructions in your email telling the recipient to replace the .txt extension with the true extension so they can open the attachment.
