Thanks for the answer. Sorry for the long delay in the thanks departments.<BR>
<BR>
One more question here,<BR>
<BR>
Can I put more than one rules file in the Mailscanner.conf. Currently I am pointing to a ruleset already.<BR>
<BR>
Currently mine looks like this<BR>
<BR>
Filename Rules = %etc-dir%/filename.rules.conf<BR>
<BR>
so would it look like this?<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/filename.rules</FONT> %etc-dir%/filename.rules.conf<BR>
<BR>
Or would I need to combine the .rules file into the .conf file<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the help.<BR>
<BR>
James<BR>
