I just figured out why SPAMCOP(DYNA) didn't hit...it's because the sender forged a local address as the Mail From and it appears that this is what you are using as a trip to turn off DUL tests.  Please allow those of us on IMail 8.x with WHITELIST AUTH to turn this feature off.  There was an old discussion about this, but clearly this is causing problems since it is being exploited.  In fact this severely weakens my system for hosted accounts, and unfortunately I wasn't aware of how big the issue was until now.

Thanks,

Matt

Scott,

I have a filter for the following that isn't getting hit:

BODY             4    ISBLANK
SUBJECT        2    ISBLANK

For some reason IMail consistently delivers messages from broken spamware, and those filters seem like the best way to add points to the message.  Here's an example:

They always look like this, and while these account for about 2.5% of my hold file, many more are scoring higher and unfortunately some of these are also passing.

Also note that I have no idea why SPAMCOP(ALL) failed and SPAMCOP(DYNA) didn't fail considering that there is only one IP shown, but that's another issue.

Thanks,

Matt
