How to Block potentially unwanted attachments

  • Updated on July 31, 2023

SpamBull has a feature that blocks potentially unwanted attachments. If enabled, SpamBull rejects attachments on inbound emails only that are considered dangerous or unwanted. For example, compressed executable files (e.g. UPX packers), password tools, network tools, peer-to-peer clients, remote access applications, system tools, spying tools and documents containing scripts. This setting only affects the delivery of the emails.
