Security issues have been widely reported in the press over the past
few years, especially concerning e-mail and the web. KMT Software
takes these issues very seriously and has taken several important
steps to ensure that High Impact eMail can be used with complete
confidence.
Virus Scanning
The High Impact eMail program, the setup program, and all
Template Packs have been scanned by the most current commercially
available virus scanners and are all certified to be virus-free.
Digital Signatures
KMT Software has used digital signatures on the High Impact eMail
installation program and on all Template Packs. These digital
signatures identify KMT Software as the developer and ensure that
the software has not been altered since it was released.
Template Scanning
Finally, at the time a template is selected for use as a
new mail, High Impact eMail scans it. This scan attempts to determine whether a
template contains anything other than simple HTML formatting. Since all KMT
Software templates use only HTML formatting, High Impact eMail should never
report a problem with these files.
Nevertheless, you may install Template Packs from other
developers, you may download HTML templates from the web, or you may obtain them
from a friend or associate. The template scanning of High Impact eMail is
intended to protect against the (purely speculative) possibility that someone
might create malicious templates and use unsuspecting users to distribute their
code.
If High Impact eMail suspects a problem, it displays the
following dialog box:

If anything, High Impact eMail is overly
cautious. If you are proficient with HTML and with scripting, you
may wish to create templates that take advantage of Java or
VBScript. Please be aware that these templates will be flagged by
High Impact eMail as being potentially harmful. If you are confident
about all the templates on your system, you may wish to disable the
scanning. Simply uncheck the appropriate checkbox on the Security
tab under Tools | Options.
