I just started using Declude for Imail and I'm trying to understand why my mail server is sending so many messages to the quarantine folders instead of just marking the headers. The only test I have set to quarantine/HOLD is the PERCENT test and when I look at the messages being quarantined, none of them have a percent symbol in the To: line. Since there are so many messages failing this test, I am concerned that there is legitimate content I am missing, though I have yet to find one from the hundred thousand messages it caught just yesterday.
Basically it tests to see if there is a percent sign in the To: line of the incoming email and if there is, it quarantines the message. Apparently this is a means to get around relay restrictions. It seems too good to be true that such a simple test would catch so much SPAM. The questions I'm trying to answer are: How does a percent sign get around a relay restriction? Is Imail aware of this issue and what are the problems with what I am now doing; removing mail with a percent sign in the To: line, though I don't see it in the mail, when I open it up. I'm running Imail 8.15 on 2003.
