I'm not sure if the firewall/router will always be the one to stop bad attachments - that job can be given to security software located on the mail server (in this case, they mentioned Trend Micro). So yeah, it's plausible that they knocked down the filter which would have stopped bad attachments. Now, whether or not it rolled out a "welcome mat" is another matter - the sender shouldn't get any indication that the filter is down (since the filter should work silently) until he gets a response. It's a better analogy to say that the dog stops chewing on the mail coming through the slot. :-) |
