Stop users from writing encrypted files to a server

Have a client where the users get emailed files from a mac, and for some reason when then save them to the server share, they go in encrypted.  No ones else can open them, and the server can't even back them up correctly.  it's a royal pain to get them unlocked.  I've got them all unlocked - but I don't want them writing any more.

Is there a way to disable efs on the server or the whole network?
