Heh heh, I can try. I can't remember it fully myself. Someone might want to correct me on this. But I think the base64 trick is to 'double' encode the email. SO when SA sees it, it sees the base64 code, which won't match any body rules. (But for some reason it matches SPAM_PHRASE_00_01 all the time.) Then your email client will display the decoded email. SO it is like the rules never worked. Anyone care to tell me if I'm right on this? I'm still on SA 2.4x waiting for 2.6 :) Chris Santerre System Admin and SA Custom Rules Emporium keeper http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/sa_rules.htm "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men." - Willy Wonka ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
