Hi,
I the moment i don't know anymore how this works, but you can solve it
with ACLs, or you can use squidguard.
But this is the wrong way:
The users can use https or can rename the attachment (mp3 to doc)and no
filteringmechanism works.
Don't allow using private webmail (block these IPs with squid or
squidguard and (!) in your policy for using the internet don't allow
private webmail and don't allow downloading files. If a user violates
this rule he has to pay 1000$ penalty and risks his job.
This approach seems to be hard, but is the only way to solve the problem.
