Re: Blocking zip files

Thank you Tom. Funny, I remember asking and yet I went through the 
archives and couldnt find a bloody thing. This time Im filing it away 
safely. I think the reason I didnt implement it previously is because I 
was on an eval, and only within the last year did I finally purchase, 
upgrade and have Nicolas consult and install Pollustop for us.
Thank you much, I apologize for asking the question again!

Bob
