I hereby propose we don't. This stuff doesn't harm us, and Outlook users have more than enough ways to share worms with each other already. Blocking it would inconvenience a lot of people for little gain. I remember when I had to use Exchange at work[1] once ... yuck. We weren't allowed to install anything else. Fortunately I worked out how to get telnet sessions out through the firewall reasonably quickly, and I probably wouldn't have sent mailing lists to work anyway, but I'm fortunate in having alternative facilities.

Choosing to block it yourself is a different matter, of course. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
