Re: [ntfsd] Block Email Attachments

Not that it belongs to this mailing list, but attempting to do so

(even if you succeeded), will lead to people renaming their documents

from “xls” to “xxx” to be able to send them via e-mails.

You are trying to do the impossible.

This is possible if you detect MIME format of message. Some mail
agents and servers save message as is. But this is not good idea.

No, you cannot.

When minifilter gets Create, it does not know whether the file is to be attached to email.
