I have a nice long rule that filters over 57 dangerous | file attachments. The exact list was obtained from a open source | program called MIMEdefang. | | I have been working with IPSwitch support to resolve an issue with the | when the e-mail matches the rule, if forwards it on to an e-mail | address. The problem I'm having is that it's truncating the first 14 | characters of the e-mail address that I specify.
