Whitelist FromOrTo:

[Andy Norris]

Thanks Martin,

I'm running MS 4.36.4.

It's working now.

However, one more weird thing... I DO have the IPs for our sites in there,
as well... and they don't seem to work.

Oh well. Baby steps. Baby steps.

Thanks very much, and hope your workout was everything you'd ever dreamed
it could be. I hope you can prove to be inspiration for me to get off my
butt and away from this damned computer and get myself to the gym that
takes my money whether I'm there or not!
