Very Computer

Hi all,
  I have been beating my head against the wall with this.

  I have been trying to allow only word, excel, powerpoint, project, PDF
file attachments through SMTP.

  I have accessed the SMTP config/properties and content type.  I
entered "only types listed below".

  I have tried the following standard Content Types.

  application/msword    -- accepted by Exchange
  application/vnd.ms-excel
  application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
  application/vnd.ms-project
  application/x-pdf

  I found the standardized content types and it's interesting to me that
MSWORD is not included in the vmd.ms group.

  I have tried application/vnd.ms-word, application/vnd.ms-msword, even
application/word.

  I can't get MS attachments to pass through the firewall.  I get the
usual ATT000##.txt in my emails.

  Yes, I have made sure that the config has been saved to the firebox.  
I've loaded the settings off it.  I've also powered it off.

  Is it possible that the firebox needs a firmware update to allow
"new" content type to be seen?

  Thanks all for the help

If you look in the FB logs it should tell you the content type that is
being denied.  

Since Watchguard uses mime types it is soly depending on the sending
SMTP client.
