Additional Restrictions for Email File Attachments

Campus email users have reported an increase in the number of email messages with infected 'ZIP' file attachments. Many of these infected ZIP file attachments contain new virus variants that the existing anti-virus products may not immediately recognize. Accordingly, a small number of email file attachments with a ZIP extension will be blocked from the campus email system. In particular, the following file attachments will no longer be accepted into the campus email system:

PayPal.zip
email-info.zip
email-doc.zip
account-details.zip
info-text.zip
body.zip
your_details.zip
document_full.zip
creditcard.zip
