Allow .msg files to be uploaded

    Hi,

    I was able to allow .msg files to be uploaded to my site before activating AIOWPS. I understand these file types have some security challenges but my site is not available to the public and I have a need to be able to file email messages with attachments.

    Could you please offer some advice as to how I could have AIOWPS allow this file type to be uploaded from the front end? I have found the software to be good apart from my inability to find how to allow this action.

    Thanks

    Hi can you check the log file?

    Also can you disable all Firewall rules. Then check to see if you can upload .msg files? If you can that means it is a Firewall rule that is blocking this file type. Can you start enabling one by one each Firewall rule and at the same time check to see if you can still upload .msg files. This will allow you to pin point which rule is blocking the .msg file.

    If the above does not work then you know it is another rule else where.

    Strangest thing. Turned off all firewall rules. Was able to upload the files. Slowly turned rules on one by one and tested upload. Everything now works. Not sure what I have done but thank you for your quick response.
    Fingers crossed it is all working now whether signed in as administrator or contributor.
    Thanks
