Attachment Filtering
To protect University and End User systems and data, the University currently blocks the email attachments most commonly used by viruses.
Messages containing these attachments will still be delivered, but the attachments will be removed and replaced with a text file.
The text file will contain the name of the removed attachment and the reason it was deleted.
Attachments with these file extensions will be removed and notifications sent:

Help With Attachment Filtering
There are several methods of successfully sending or receiving attachments that would normally be blocked:
Change the file extension to .mst. Files with this extension are allowed through.
Compress the file into an archive with a file extension that is not blocked, such as .rar or .tar
Transfer the file using a secure file share or FTP.
