This article applies to:

• Trustwave MailMarshal (SEG)
• Trustwave ECM/MailMarshal Exchange

Question:

• Are Office 2007 and 2003 documents supported by MailMarshal SMTP and MailMarshal Exchange?

Information:

Microsoft Office 2007 (and later versions)

• Trustwave MailMarshal (SEG) version 6.4 and above correctly identifies and scans Office 2007 documents.
• Trustwave ECM/MailMarshal Exchange version 5.2 and above correctly identifies and scans Office 2007 documents.

"Office 2007" format is used by all later versions of Office.

Earlier versions of MailMarshal SMTP, and MailMarshal Exchange version 5.x, are not able to detect Microsoft Office 2007 docs correctly as type "document". The files are detected as .ZIP archives, which is a correct identification of the file structure. The files are unpacked properly, and content within them is scanned.

Microsoft Office 2007 documents, saved in Office 2003 format.

The following limitations apply for this format:

• Some images contained within an Excel or PowerPoint document are not extracted.
• Note that MailMarshal Exchange 5.1 cannot apply TextCensoring to Excel or PowerPoint files.
