The problem is this rule:
B~name=.{1,64}\.com:blocked
The sourcecode of HTML mails contains many times links refering to
.com sites, images, etc. and this rule blocks them.
I am using a reduced version of these rules with great success. I use only:
B~begin 6.{1,64}\.pif:blocked
B~begin 6.{1,64}\.scr:blocked
B~begin 6.{1,64}\.vbs:blocked
B~begin 6.{1,64}\.shs:blocked
B~begin 6.{1,64}\.com:blocked
B~name=.{1,64}\.pif:blocked
B~name=.{1,64}\.scr:blocked
B~name=.{1,64}\.vbs:blocked
B~name=.{1,64}\.shs:blocked
