Anyone know if there's a list of file extensions that msu's email blocks?  doc appears to be blocked, although docx isn't blocked, just kinda wondering what else might be.  The message you get when they're blocked refers to a msu page on virus's that doesn't exist anymore.

I'm not particularly surprised that doc is blocked, I was actually a little surprised that the documents that someone in my department was trying to send were still doc and not docx.  I was a little surprised that given doc is blocked, docx isn't.  (Of course, now I'll probably have everyone annoyed with me when the msu mail team realizes that it wasn't and should have been, and fixes that problem :) ).

(It's also a little annoying when the block message says it's being blocked because of a virus, and it's not really true.)

550 Virus found see http://help.msu.edu/mail/virus/ or call 517-432-6200

And of course, that web link doesn't exist anymore.

I was just sent a .doc and .docx file, with no problems.  If there is

a policy to block such files, I missed that memo. ;-)


I'm wondering if you really did get a viri of some kind, regardless

of the accuracy of the error message?
