Can we update this plugin to be RFC compliant as it's currently not. This has become a security concern for us.

SolarWinds highly recommends that the customer strategize and adjust their infrastructure to adhere to RFC standards and utilize clients that are up to date, as detailed in the article Resolution 2

Error Message: The message [filename] is not extractable!". It worked fist time and from 2nd time I am getting error. Also I tried next day but still getting same error.
