Same here -
The only rule that works here is B~\pv$b$s:virus (actual rule has "$"
removed)
I have also been unable to get the filtered messages all into one location.
The rule is a host rule (rules.ima is in IMail root) but filtered messages
go to separate mailboxes for each user instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] According to the User Manual, this should be
possible. At this point however, we are covered.

Just tried the H~ rule described above and it also fails to catch
testbed.zip.v$b$s. This file was sent using Eudora 4.3 registered version
to my server and then back to me. Enabling my B~\pv b s:virus rule (sans
spaces) and placing it after the H~ rule (just to make sure it isn't
malformed and possibly causing a break in the rule check) the server caught
it immediately.
