Outbound E-mail Filtering

[Hammerz]

There is quite a lengthy reoccurring discussion going on in Web Hosting Forum -> TotalChoice Hosting General Support -> Backend Services concerning TCH's outbound e-mail filtering. Certain files types cannot be send out through TCH's system_filter.exim. The types of files which are being bounced back from outgoing mail include (among many others)...

 

# |chm

# |eml

# |exe

# |hlp

# |reg

# |url

 

Most of the other extentions (that I didn't include above) are "Greek" to me, but ONE -- the .URL extention, is one that I use many times a week to forward helpful/useful/interesting sites to my children, friends and family in the US, or to my church members.

 

I personally, and I'm not alone, would like to see TCH find/make a way for it's outgoing mail filter to be customer-configurable -- even if they have to charge me for it. I am NOT in favor of dropping the filter entirely, though some of you may be. Let's put our heads together and see what the main view on this issue is, OK? (Then I/we can lay it to rest for while!)

 

I have made this poll "poll only (no replies)." Please post your feedback to the "E-mail Filtering" topic at "Web Hosting Forum -> TotalChoice Hosting General Support -> Backend Services.'

 

Thanks for your input!
