[IMail Forum] RULES.IMA blocking *.jpg's?

[Andrew SNOWDEN]

I had the same problem some time ago. I discovered that it was being caught becuase of 
the offensive words in my rules.ima

It seems that both jpg and gif use offesnive words in the encoding.

If this is the case, I resolved the issue by putting \s both before and after the 
words I wanted to catch (\s being white space).

Hi, 

has anyone seen incoming mail with *.jpg attachments getting blocked by a 
rules.ima file even though the rules.ima contains nothing about blocking 
*.jpg's? This happens to about 0.01% of our incoming *.jpg's. I opened one 
blocked *.jpg to see if the ASCII contained something that matched one of 
our filter criteria and couldn't find anything. Is this a bug in Imail 6.06 
? 

Thanks, 
Adam
