Attachment file types in Entourage 2008
Entourage 2008 does not allow users to receive attachments from certain file types that could
potentially carry a virus to their computers. The default list of unsafe file types is located in the
Attachment Policy property list (.plist) file. This file is located in Microsoft
Entourage.pkg/Contents/Resources/.
You can choose to edit the Attachment Policy .plist file to create a supplementary .plist file that
overrides or extends the policy to block or allow file types that you specify. You then can deploy
this file to users' computers. For more information about how to customize the attachment policy
settings, see Customize Entourage 2008 attachment settings
in the Office 2008 Planning section.
