security? viruses and so on...

Post by student101 »

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?

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

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