    Hi ActiveNew,

     

    Just an idea but do you have it configured to block ZIP files/compressed archives.

    Office files post 2007 are actually XML files that are compressed into ZIP archives.

    Here is the KB on identifying these archives.

    Hi,

     

    Yes it is possible to create the rules to allows Office Formats but still block regular zip archives.

    This has come up before so here are the forum links for you
