Most Exchange admins (arguably mail admins most concerned with Windows
viruses) consider Martin Blackstone's list of danger to be rather complete.

Of course, it doesn't include archive files (Zip, Rar, etc), but does cover
just about everything that can be directly executed by Windows.

Interesting. Our management recently suggested a "default deny" policy
for file extensions. Quite tempting, considering the state of M$
insecurity.
I hate to think how many dangerous filetypes are not on our banned list.
Of course, outside of the M$ world these are arbitary file names. A unix
user might be mailing yesterday's results in a file called "results.thu"
and get blocked. Not really practical here.
