Re: My apologies
Having myself been through what Thomas is appologizing for, I have some comments on what Reindl H. is doing. On 8/3/23 3:06 PM, Ken D'Ambrosio wrote: I ... think he should be blocked. He /is/ blocked from from sending messages to / through the mailing list. I've been online for over 40 years, and it's rare to have someone so actively hostile right out of the gate Here's the thing. He is sending his reply /around/ the list -- apparently -- so that it looks like his messages came from the list. So his behavior is -- in my opinion -- both hostile and deceptive. I admit, it made me worried what kind of environment was fostered on the Spamassassin list when I asked my newbie question, and was outright mocked by him. I think that reaction is perfectly understandable. I'm sorry that someone made you feel that way about the SpamAssassin users mailing list / community. I hope that you realize that he is in the minority and doesn't speak for the vast majority of us. And so, while I have zero sway as a team member or anything like that, as a newbie mailing list member, looking for help, I humbly submit that he's not someone you want being the first interaction a new list member has. Agreed. $.02, YMMV, etc. :-) Grant. . . .

Re: SA and UTF-8 Filename Attachments
On 2023-08-03 at 12:21:11 UTC-0400 (Thu, 3 Aug 2023 12:21:11 -0400) Jared Hall is rumored to have said: SA v3.4.6: Consider an Email with a UTF-8 attachment name: ®Payroll_stubs.Htm defined by the MIME header: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*0*=utf-8''%C2%AEPayroll_stubs.Htm A PERL unicode-formatted rule fails: mimeheader __JR_EXPLOIT_ATT_UTF Content-Disposition =~ /(\xC2\xAEPayroll_stubs\.Htm)([";']?|$)/ The more native (raw) formatted rule works even without specifying "Content-Disposition:raw": mimeheader __JR_EXPLOIT_ATT_UTF Content-Disposition =~ /(%C2%AEPayroll_stubs\.Htm)([";']?|$)/ How does SA handle UTF-8 filenames? That is dependent on the value of normalize_charset (and possibly also on your Perl version but that would be due to bugs in Perl.) It may also vary by platform, as substantial improvement in Unicode handling was made between 3.4.x and 4.x and some distros that cherry-pick improvements may have backported fixes into what they call '3.4.6'. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
