Rules Question

[Martin.Hepworth]

HI

Yes you need set up a rule with both sets.
If you do this you'll still be subject to the mailscanner 'scans' for filetypes etc.

There's a big on/off switch in the top level "Scan Messages" setting.

Be aware though most spam fakes the from address and can indeed be from:fred at domain.com  to:fred at domain.com

So doing this with domains can undesired effects, it's better to use ip-addresses is at possible.
