[QUOTE="Venustus, post: 837067, member: 4295"] [I]Microsoft plans to expand the list of file extensions that are banned in Outlook for the web (previously known as Outlook Web Access (OWA)). The list, which previously included 104 file extensions, will be expanded "soon" with 38 new entries. These new entries are file types that are regularly used to deliver malware to Outlook inboxes. Once added to the list of blocked file extensions, users won't be able to download any of these types of files from their inboxes -- unless the Outlook/Exchange administrator has whitelisted a particular file extension on purpose, using a special config. "The newly blocked file types are rarely used, so most organizations will not be affected by the change," the Microsoft Exchange team said in an announcement yesterday.[/I] The 38 new file extensions that will soon be banned in Outlook for the web include: [URL='https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-bans-38-file-extensions-in-outlook-for-the-web/']Read[/URL] [/QUOTE]
