Good Morning,

I've noticed that the bayes filter has been blocking several emails that just appear as several lines of random text, but if you copy the entire text of the email out of the quar and save it as an eml file it opens to read perfectly readable spam. I was baffled as to how this is done. Then when reading some spam articles and found this http://david.carter-tod.com/base64/default.asp
This is how people encode those random lines of text.....

My question is this. The emails that are encoded this way seem to all have this line of text
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" above the code.
Is there any reason that legit email would be encoded like this? I am thinking about blocking all email that has "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" in it anywhere.

Thanks.

I don't even has this setting in my ini file? Is this a new revision or a manual entry only?

Thank you very much Dan

Yes thanks Dan!

Any other "Dan" entries we should add to the .ini file?

Thanks,

Bob

As Dan correctly stated, there is an SpamFilter.ini file parameter to filter all emails with that encoding. We just noticed that while this addition was mentioned in the release notes for build 1.2.0.178, that was the *only* place where it was documented. The option is not documented in the readme.html file, nor does it appear with the default value of "0" in the SpamFilter.ini file. We apologize for this, and will update the documentation on the next release.
