My God, did the programmers of that software actually opt to base64 encode "US-ASCII" in the subject line???

Sorry, I just has to point that out in case anyone missed it :)

Declude JunkMail will block E-mail when it fails test(s) that you have set up to block the E-mail (by using actions such as HOLD or DELETE).

However, this is an odd one -- unless there are other headers that you are not including, the E-mail was not processed by IMail or Declude! If you look at the Received: headers, it shows:

Received: from [63.97.219.13] (helo=intmail.sequoianet.com)
 by server6.totalchoicehosting.com with smtp (Exim 4.20)

It was sent from your InterScan server to your Exim server. It was not handled by IMail. However:

Between the base64 encoded text segment, the encoded subject, and the non-Y2K-compliant Date: header, this E-mail is already starting off with a few strikes against it.
