Hello!
I applied the "name=.{1,64}\.ext" rule to my Imail 8.01 yesterday, so I
could filter out COM files. So far, it caught twelve viruses (the rule
forwards these messages to me). It looks quite valuable, but there are
two bizarre side effects: I'm receiving more spam than before, and I'm
also receiving personal email.
As for the spam issue, I can create a rule to dump those messages into a
separate folder, and delete them at the same time. But the personal
email thing is weird; four of those messages were "bidconfirmations" and
"endofauction" statements from ebay, and another was an .eml forward
from someone's home address to work. I told that person about the
testing we're doing, and they granted me permission to read the message,
so I could decipher why it's getting forwarded.
So I need to know these two things:
How can that rule be tweaked to be less inclusive?
Is there something in all these messages I'm receiving that would help
me decipher why they're getting caught? I hate to open spam, if it can
be avoided.
Thanks!
