OWA - Blocked attachments
Microsoft blocks potentially unsafe attachment
files (including .bat, .exe, .vbs, and .js files) that can contain
viruses.
If OWA blocks any attachment
files in a message, a list of the blocked file types appears in the
InfoBar (near the top of an open email message, appointment, contact, or
task).
The example below is an example of message a live@ucl user would see if an attachment was blocked from another live@ucl user.
If a blocked attachment is sent from a non Live@UCL user, the following example shows what a user might see:
