SMTP Exception - Sanity Check

Question

Hi all, 
 We are running two SG450 Hardware Appliances in Hot Standby (Active/Passive) Mode. Version installed is 9.411-3. 
 I am trying to permit encrypted e-mails from selective sender addresses. 
 I created a Exception List in Email Protection > SMTP > Exceptions which skipped Extension Blocking, MIME type checks and Email Encryption for a select list of sender address patterns. 
 However, when I attempt to test this exception using an approved sender address, the e-mail is still being quarantined. 
 Under Email Protection > SMTP > Malware , I have the Quarantine unscannable and encrypted content option selected. In general we do want to block this type of material. When I un-tick this option the e-mail is successfully delivered. 
 Does the manually created Exception List not override the Malware option or have I missed something painfully obvious with this? 
 Many thanks for your assistance with this. 
 Best regards, 
 John P

I don't think you want 'Encryption', John, as that refers to Encryption/Signing done by the Proxy. You probably want to skip 'Antivirus checking' instead. 
 Buuut, why not let the UTM do the decryption so that it can scan for viruses?
