That did the trick. I included the extensions in your list and in Tom's list. I'll need to check what .wsh and .wsf files are, though. Anyway, ClamAV is working, rejects based on extensions are working (I tested from a different account). Still not doing Spam filters as I'm not sure at all about the overhead (very old PC, serving mail for me - and maybe my kids if they want). I might look into the RBL block lists and block on Spam sites, but not dial-up sites. My PC sits in the dial-up area (behind a DSL router), so I would be on that block list. I'll approach that in another week or so, unless Spam gets too heavy (and no, that is not a challenge to the list!). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
