I have users who subscribe to the daily Dilbert comic, and that mail apparently
includes an iFrame. Having only recently learned about iFrames, I'm surprised
they aren't much more widely used, but that's neither here nor there. Are
you suggesting that Allowing iFrame Tags means that the entire message
will go unscanned for other threats?
<p>I need a way to pass these messages, either a whitelist for unitedmedia.com
or the option to ignore iFrames, but I still need to scan them for viruses.
<p>By the way, I am using 4.00.0a13-1, and I don't have a mailscanner.conf
file except in the old 3.25 source tree. I'm including a copy of one of
the bounce messages below.
