Directly deny accepting emails containing certaines attachments (e.g. iso) already at reception instead of using CF to avoid archving issues
Close connection when receiving files with certain (configurable) attachement types (for example ISO-files) instead of first accepting the mail and then passing it through Content Filter to delete/quarantine the mail in the second step. This has the advantage that a mail that has never been accepted does not need to be archived (in combination with saving bandwidth/cpu/disk space,...) and probably it would be easy to implement.

Hello Tom,
Thank you for sharing your idea with us to reject messages that contain attachments which match the restricted attachments list. It will be considered for future versions.
Thanks again,
Arron

Hello Arron,
imho there should be a second list which is separate from the normal restricted attachments list as there are some attachments which might be potentially dangerous (and thus I want them quarantined via the unwanted attachment list) and then there is a second category of attachments which I do not want to accept at all (like ISO images, direct Java,...)Tom
