Windows. There must be a much simpler way to simple disable this
so-called Security feature.
This security feature cannot be disabled. You can only create the plist file that will allow you to pass blocked attachments.
Blocking attachments is a pre-emptive security measure and Entourage is mimicking Outlook's new behavior for doing the same thing. Just because you're on a Mac doesn't mean that you can't send or forward harmful attachments to Windows folks.
Mac folks are savvier than Windows folks, IMHO, but only a few "unsavvy" folks, who don't apply updates and security patches, are needed to spread viruses, propagate spam, etc.
Depending on the file type, the simpler way to work around this problem for most folks is to just change the name of the file name extension. For example change:
scriptfile.scpt
to
scriptfile.txt
Hope this helps!
