I use a filter that searches for attachments and causes the email to bypass further filter tests. For example my filter is called BYPASS and contains lines like these:
BODY 0 CONTAINS .PDF BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-type: application/msword BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-Type: application/pdf BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-Type: application/rtf BODY 0 CONTAINS Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel BODY 0 CONTAINS X-MS-Attachment: Then I have this line at the top of all my filters: TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS BYPASS Run the bypass filter before any other filter tests run, this has eliminated alot of false positives for me especially with PDF files. You can recover alot of CPU processing time by running your tests in a logical order, run all your filters that hold or delete mail first and then use the TESTSFAILED END to stop the filtering process on any messages that are already flagged for holding or deletion Rick Davidson National Systems Manager North American Title Group - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Doherty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 8:18 AM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude and attachments > Hi- > > Many of my users are personnel agencies that send and receive a lot of > resumes as attachments.
