Thanks!
 
I didn't think that IFRAMES would even be in the .conf file...
 
Guess I need to read the docs thoroughly before posting.
 
Thanks again!

	Hi Gary,
	
	You can set up a ruleset for this.  Look for this line in your
	MailScanner.conf file:
	
	Allow IFrame Tags =
	
	and point it to a ruleset filename.  For example:
	
	Allow IFrame Tags  = /etc/MailScanner/rules/iframe.whitelist.rules
	
	Then in your /etc/MailScanner/rules directory, create a file called
	iframe.whitelist.rules
	
	In it you can put entries like:
	
	From:            someone at somehost.com    yes
	FromOrTo:    default                                no
	
	I believe you can also put wildcards:
	
	From:    *@somehost.com    yes
	
	Just be sure that the last line of your ruleset file is
	
	FromOrTo:        default    no
	
	So that the default action for the rest of your mail will still be to
	disallow IFrame tags.
	
	Ryan
