Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Charactersets

[Matt]

Chris, Let me give you Declude's users one warning regarding this.  Even though a characterset such as GB2312 (Chinese) might be defined, that doesn't mean that the message will be in Chinese.  All or at least most of these charactersets still support standard ASCII characters, and this allows someone with a non-English characterset to send messages in English.  It's certainly wasteful as far as size goes, but it allows people to be bi-lingual without needing to change their settings.  I definitely have customers that do this, and many people that they communicate with. So in essence, a foreign characterset doesn't automatically mean a foreign language. It would have probably been more useful to expose this to Declude's filters so that users could have better control over this.  For instance:     CHARACTERSET   10   IS   GB2312     CHARACTERSET   10   IS   Big5 I so something similar currently, but I also provide exceptions when a filter hits at least three common words such as "the", "and", "or", "but", "that", "this", etc., since this indicates that English was used despite the characterset.  If you just simply capture such messages, it excludes these things from more granular control and other things like review and reprocessing mechanisms.

We just filter their mail for spam and pass it on. I just reverted back to 4.3.7 and now we are catching spam again for them We catch over 4000 spam messages per day for one of these clients alone so you can imagine their complaint this morning.
