How to Block password-protected attachment

Spammers try to be sneaky by sending files that are protected with passwords attached to their spam emails. They hope this trick will help them bypass filters meant to catch spam. To stop them, you can turn on the Block Password Protected Attachments feature, which will prevent such messages from being received in your inbox. This feature is off by default. If you want to turn on this feature, follow the steps below.
