Running Imail 7.13, Declude virus 1.65 and Fprot for windows. and have caught several "Sobig", so glad THAT'S working!!!!!! long live scheduled updates! LOL! Also noticed the [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-mail.
Also, as Scott mentioned, being an ISP, blocking can be a pain, one persons saving grace is another's inconvenience. We've pretty much stated tho that for the sake of the majority, certain extension types are not allowed, so the few complaints have died down.
