Hi,

I've got

BANEZIPEXTS ON

And the file got through (encrypeted zip with password in the body of the
email)

ver 1.78i7

There is so much info floating around...what version do I need to block
this, and what exactley do I need in the config files??

Scott, can you please list the recommended config, the ver, and what each
config line does?

Thanks, Andy
