Hmmm everything looks good with the .tab structure. I'm running XMail in debugging
mode and I see
'Filter error for domain "somewhere.com" (/var/MailRoot/filters/viruscheck.pl)'
'Filter error for domain "somewhere" (/var/MailRoot/filters/viruscheck.pl)'
Can I interpret that as a domain error (ie Gated is screwing up)?. And that there is
nothing wrong with XMail?
