Hello:

I work for a Japanese ISP and one of our users is having some difficulty 
posting to news.  Everytime he posts, it is rejected with the error, "441 
Feedrule: Last matched rule was a reject ".  I was able to narrow it down 
to his subject line:

Subject: 
=?iso-2022-jp?B?UmU6IBskQjosS0xAfiFKGyhCUmU6IBskQkwkQC5AfhsoQihSZTo=?= 
=?iso-2022-jp?B?IBskQkZ8Q2ZAfhsoQik=?= 

which I believe is MIME-encoded Japanese text.  If I change the subject
line to "test", the same message and headers are posted okay.

I took a look in my newsfeeds.conf file, and there doesn't appear to be 
anything out of the ordinary in the "site me" section.  The following 
rules are established:

site me
        groups *,!to.*,!*warez*,!*.h*pc*
        maxcross 5
        maxsize 20000000
        accept default
        reject subject "make money fast"
        reject subject "xxx"
        [some more offensive rules trimmed to protect your sensitive eyes]
        reject subject "slut"
        reject subject "free free"
        reject subject "hardcore"
        reject subject "pre-teen"

First, is the "me" feed section where I should be looking?  Second, is
it possible that the MIME-encoded header is somehow matching something by
chance, eg. "xxx"?  If so, can I enhance my rules a bit to avoid this?

Thank you in advance for any insight into this problem.
