Thanks. 12.5 is high. The server isn't dropping mail scored that high. It
quarantines it. I'm just trying to help prevent any ransomware from hitting
us. We have a small user base, so checking the quarantine and releasing
mail isn't a big deal.

I am unsure about your mention of macros. I've received doc files with
macros that were trojan downloaders. docx has no way of running malicious
code?

Thank you much,
Rod
