Newbie! Whitelisting Newsletter

[Andy Norris]

Thanks Julian,

The warning attachment says:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The original e-mail message contained potentially dangerous content,
which has been removed for your safety.

The content is dangerous as it is often used to spread viruses or to gain
personal or confidential information from you, such as passwords or credit
card numbers.

At Wed Nov 10 13:00:56 2004 the content filters said:
    Found a form in HTML message
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The book covers this topic in depth? I'll buy it straightaway.

Thanks Julian,

Andy
