When using GPO to block files from opening in Outlook 2010, does anyone know if Outlook is able to open ZIP files to see if the contents of the file contain files that should be blocked? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also, is outlook easily fooled if someone sends a blocked file type (such as an EXE file) but changes the extention (for example, to .TXT)?<br />
<br />
Thanks
