Re: [Declude.Virus] url file extensions
I originally had them banned, but then I got tired of reproecessing the legit email that had the attachments, so they are allowed in here. - Original Message - From: "Nick Hayer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2006 2:09 PM Subject: [Declude.Virus] url file extensions I been asked to remove the block I have on these - and since I have forgotten why I am blocking them Is there a valid reason to block these?
