Filter by IP

[Sampson, Aaron]

The problem comes in trying to figure out where I went wrong with it.  I have more than triple checked it and also had another IT guy with WAY more experience has double checked everything as well.  Think we are going to build a test system to play around with and see if we can get this to work, but please keep the ideas coming

It *does* say "syntax error", you just have to find out where you're typing it wrong, I guess.

And the e-mails were probably not lost, since you have "store" - in fact, your defaults *should* be, specially when testing, "deliver store" so you *always* have a copy in the quarantine.
