hi,
 
as far as i remember a filterline like
 

BODY     5     CONTAINS      HGH

 

would trigger everything with hgh in it:

 

blablabla hgh blablabla

 

blablablahghblablabla

 

blablablahgh blablabla

 

blablabla hghblablabla

 

regardless if there is a space behind hgh in the filter or not

 

there was a discusion on leading (or following) spaces some time ago (last thing that i remember is a messages from scott http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg17411.html )

Betreff: [Declude.JunkMail] Filter with a traling space question

Hi all,

 

Happy Canada Day and July 4 to all Canadians and Americans respectively.

 

I have an e-mail fail a filter test that I was being really careful with. The test is Kami’s Viagra test. In the log I get

 

07/05/2004 10:57:50 Q6c682c190080ebdc Filter FILTER-VIAGRA-RX: Not skipping E-mail due to current weight of 0.

07/05/2004 10:57:50 Q6c682c190080ebdc Filter: Set max weight to 60.

07/05/2004 10:57:51 Q6c682c190080ebdc Triggered CONTAINS filter FILTER-VIAGRA-RX on HGH  [weight->5; hgh SmtznGNrlFJahEpSe0JKcyEpUh].

 

And in the Viagra filter I have the following at the end of the filter and I have removed the original line that did not have a trailing space

 

# Need a space at the end to prevent problems

BODY     5     CONTAINS      HGH

# End of adding a space to filter lines

 

Now you will notice that the BODY line really does have a space behind the HGH

 

The e-mail that failed was an HTML mail with lots of embedded pictures etc.

 

It appears that the portion of the e-mail that the “HGH “ failed is on some mime (or something) encoding. Now it seems wrong to me that there would be a space in the encoding and somehow something happened and it somehow added a space?? I am not really sure what I think may be the problem but I guess my doubt comes from the fact that I believe that a space would not be present in the encoding.

 

So my questions:

 

Did it really fail on hgh with a trailing space?

Can you have a space in the encoding?

If the above is true then do you have any idea on how common a space in the encoding would be?

 

Thanx
