Pete,

I know that with Sniffer we have the ability to delete certain rulesets, but
would it be possible to add a "custom" rule for our server? Right now, we
are getting hit pretty hard with Russian Cyrillic spam. While this SHOULD be
easy to stop in IMail, every single rule I have created in IMail has failed
to stop the spam. Both IMail and Postfix use pretty much the same Regular
Expressions, and I am able to stop 100% of this spam from getting through
our Postfix box using the following rule:

/charset="windows-1251"/ REJECT

In IMail, the rule to accomplish the same thing should look something like:

h~windows-1251:NUL

Unfortunately, it does NOT work. I have tried numerous incarnations of the
same rule, but IMail simply refuses to stop any of it. Is there a way that
we could have a rule that looks for windows-1251 in the subject line and
tags it as spam? Thanks much.

FYI, even though the actual Imail server's IP address does not have an MX
record, these Cyrillic spammers seem to be one of the few spam gangs clever
enough to bypass all of our official MX records and deliver straight to the
IMail server. We will be dumping IMail in the near future, due to its
inability to stop these spams (among other reasons). In the meantime, it
would be extremely helpful if we could use Sniffer to block this stuff.
