I use a text filter.

The rules I use are:
SUBJECT 40 CONTAINS =?ISO-8859-1?b?
SUBJECT 40 CONTAINS =?ISO-8859-1?q?
SUBJECT 40 CONTAINS =?koi8-r
SUBJECT 40 CONTAINS =?iso-2022-jp?q?
SUBJECT 40 CONTAINS =?windows-1251?B?

There's been some debate on this. I've personally NEVER seen a legitimate message come through with an encoded subject. However, some folks from Europe(?) have said that it is possible.

I probably use a much higher weight than others because I'm not worried about false positives because the probability (for us) is very, very low.

which displays as:
My wife said I needed V)iagra I went here! Thanx Guys!

Does Declude decode it for SUBJECT CONTAINS filtering, so I could match on
V)iagra?  Is it safe to filter on subject containing "iso-8859-1" or is it
common for subject lines to be coded that way?

As with any test, it does have some false positives. But it
appears that they are very low.


How does it work?


From my initial posting about the test:

        This one looks for spaces in SMTP commands where there shouldn't
be any.



Why it can be triggered by an message sent from Outlook 2003?


Because Outlook 2003 is junk. :)

There are several things that Outlook 2003 does that are not
RFC-compliant.  I'm guessing that soon lots of people will start
whitelisting E-mail sent from Outlook 2003, and then soon after that
spammers will add Outlook 2003 headers to their spams.
