You have told IMAIL the following:
In the BODY find anything containing "filename_=" ANY NUMBER OF ANY TYPE OF
CHARACTERS, ANY PUNCTUATION, and "exe".
When files are converted for mailing, they can easily contain punctuation +
your target extension. The combination of the period, which is an infinite
wild card, and the punctuation escape is what is really killing
you. Change your rules like this:
B~\filename_=".*\._exe:virusbox [remove the underscores]
IOW, change the "p" to a period. NOTE: You *MUST* be running 6.04 or
higher for this to work. All previous versions do not respect the \.
sequence and you are stuck.
