After I sent it, I realized that I forgot something: Everything coming in that matched the rule was forwarded to my address, so I could LOOK for false positives. My apology, I should have said that in the first place. It made sense for me to receive more email (and perhaps some spam, too). I was actually LOOKING for the spam, but I didn't expect the false positives. Since then, I have tweaked the numbers in the brackets from "1,64" to "1,32", and have sent multiple tests from an outside mail account to try fooling it. I just discovered that an email with attachment that had a filename 31 characters long got caught by the rule, while an email each with 32 and 33 characters for a filename was sent to its intended recipient. Provided that a virus keeps the filename less than 32 characters, I should be okay. I don't know about short URLs though...
