Subject: Question on keyword filter

If I have a keyword like R0lGODdhDgKAAYcAAP is it supposed to find it even if its in the middle of the Base-64 string as below? I did this to try and stop a ton of stock spam thats getting by and its Base-64 encoded. I can'r use the builtin ini setting because it catches too many pictures of grandma and such. Using the filter with a partial of the Base-64 works occasionaly, but I still get a lot through and I checked to make sure that is not whitelisted. Should this work OK consitently or does SFI need to see a delimeter somewhere.

Thanks!

Webguys,

The built in base64 filter doesn't effect correct base64 images.  It is designed to batch plain text pretending to be images so Grandma should be ok.

Dan, do you have an example that I can steal?

Benny,

There is an INI setting "FilterBase64html=1".  This filters "Content-Transfer-Encoding=base64 and Content-Type=text/html/plain" but doesn't touch normal image encoding.
