I am new to Swift Mailer and used to work with PHPMailer, interested to know your points on security for uploading files and sending via email.

Is there a method to check these files before they are sent? Is this up to my host?

Cheers

Cool, you mean in SwiftMail or settings on the server where it's hosted?

Cheers

before you hand the file over to your mailer, check the mimetypes

I must be honest I have no experience in this whitelisting stuff;

I can't even get an attachment from a recordset to work?
