Outlook 2003 blocking "unsafe" attachments.

[Carey]

Hey,

We're running outlook 2003 at a client site and its
blocking internal emailing of Access database files
(.mdb). In past versions of outlook you could just set the
security to none and it was ok to send those attachments
considered unsafe, but outlook 2003 seems to be built like
this by design and has no opetion to turn it off other
than using a Security Template with ORK along with the
Exchange server.

Does anyone have any other EASIER ways going around this
other than those mentioned above?? Thanks.

Rename the file extension to .txt and send it. Include instructions in the
mail for the recipient to rename the file back after they save it to their
hard drive.

Ya thats basically what i've done, I've told them to zip
the files and send them like that. Otherwise I will have
to hack the reg.
