Okay, so I have read as much of the archives as I could stand, and I
have been lurking on this list for a few months.

I took the advice from this list for the blockage of attachments via a
rules.ima file for the entire virtual host.

This is what I used:

B~name=.*\.(bat|chm|cmd|com|exe|jse|lnk|pif|reg|scr|shs|vbs|wsf):viruses
B~name=.*\.(bat|chm|cmd|com|exe|jse|lnk|pif|reg|scr|shs|vbs|wsf)\s:virus
es
B~begin
6.*\.(bat|chm|cmd|com|exe|jse|lnk|pif|reg|scr|shs|vbs|wsf):viruses

I then have a viruses.fwd in all of the users mailboxes, so that the
attachement having messages get sent to me. :)

I find myself with a lot of false positives, mainly from HTML e-mails.
For instance, this snippit of code from a message:

** SNIP **
<map name="FPMap0">        <area
href="http://e-klk.com/r/r0.4?y3J1tRnoXlTLo1piq7IL7Lq8Uz-cfAfcP7Ur7gIx9M
xMyG0P9ESRX2b" title="Debt Consolidation" shape="rect" coords="0, 0,

20">        <area

H1r7UNYQk622e" title="Request Information Today!" shape="rect"
coords="345, 0, 519, 20"></map>
** SNIP **

Manages to trip off the filter as though the message contained an
attachment.

Any thoughts on how to avoid this? (and yes, I am working on setting up
some other antispam via IMGate or Declude, but this is a school district
I work for, we have very little money.  ;)


Thanks!
