Deleting office documents in emails and delivering the email to the recipient only without an attachment - possible?

Hello everybody,

in times of Emotet and Co., we have now decided to block all mails with certain office documents via UTM in the future.
Now the question arises whether the UTM is also able to delete the office documents from the e-mail and only deliver the mail to the recipient without an attachment?
Is that possible? And if so, how should that be set?

Thank you.

Hi Andre,

ad hoc I don’t think that is possible. You could only block the whole email.
Already in 2015 this question raised, https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/f/mail-protection-smtp-pop3-antispam-and-antivirus/49888/remove-replace-attachment
And no answer was given.

Best regards

Alex

Hallo Andre and welcome to the UTM Community!

You'll find that information from Alex is to be trusted. You should talk to your Sophos reseller partner about Sandstorm and Central Intercept X.

We just let e-mails with word documents go to the quarantine. That way users have to think twice before releasing it from the quarantine instead of just getting it into their inbox.
