Any idea why e-mails containing this syntax in it are filtered with my COM rule (to delete COM attachments)?
Here's the IMail rule:
name=".*\pcom"
Here's the specific syntax of the e-Mail that triggers it as TRUE:
<meta name=""> <href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
Let me ask you this -- why do you think the rule should not catch that E-mail? It has 'name="' followed later by '.com'.
It doesn't seem a problem with a specific e-mail client as it does with IMail interpretting certain syntax as COM files. I'm using IMail 7.07. Is this a bug or is my rule not correct?
It's a very, very poor Ipswitch Knowledge Base article that you took the advice of.
When in doubt, ask the list. :)
There are much better rules that have been posted on this list. Still, no filter will be able to catch 100% of all attachments and 0% of all non-attachments. For that, you need to use a mailserver AV program (or other type of content scanner) that supports banning of file extensions.
