IP Address blocked by Sucuri Website Firewall

I'm not sure what is going on, but I can't post Excel attachments.

There is a message that keeps saying that it has blocked my IP address

I encounter the same problem. Is your's in the meanwhile solved? Regards, Hans Troost

Thanks for your answer.

In the meanwhile I googled a lot and later remembered that I had seen something like my solution:

I removed all less than and greater than symbols from my original message and that helped me skipping this blocking.

I bit curious: what is the rationale behind this firewall setting: blocking messages with these characters?

best regards,

Hans

I assume the firewall thinks they are HTML tags and thus spam or a virus, therefore blocking the post

Aaah, thanks
