E-mail security: new restriction on attachments

In order to further protect CERN mail users against viruses that spread using malicious files, from 1st March onwards dangerous file types already forbidden as mail attachments will also be forbidden as contents of an archive attachment (.zip and .rar compressed files).

More details, including a list of blocked file types, can be found at http://cern.ch/mmmservices/Help/?kbid=171010.
