You once said you are thinking of adding Base64 parsing capability to Declude.It is important to remember that Declude JunkMail has a BASE64 test that will catch 100% of spam that uses base64 to bypass filters.
Has that moved in the priorities?
Adding this to Declude would truly make it a perfect spam killing machine... & not having it with the ever more usage of it is causing more spams to come through.
With Base64 our filters are useless.
It is also important to remember that for every false positive we've seen on the BASE64 test, there was no legitimate reason for the base64 encoding to be used, and those legitimate E-mails were wasting bandwidth, storage space, and resources.
People who send out legitimate E-mail with base64 encoded text or HTML segments are making the spam problem worse.
For those reasons, I recommend treating E-mail that fails the BASE64 test harshly.
However, the latest beta does automatically decode base64 MIME segments (although it will be set up as a configuration option in an upcoming release).
