## About the Attachment Blocking Global Policy

The attachment blocking Global Policy applies to all incoming and outgoing email messages. You can configure the Global Policy to automatically block email messages with attachments by file type or by file name.
You can also create attachment blocking exceptions to allow specific accounts to send and receive email messages with the attachments specified in the Global Policy when certain users have different privilege requirements.
