I have a message that is not getting caught by the spam filter. In fact it scores 0.0 if I look at the header. Why would the attached message not get caught by the spam filters?

It gets caught on mine...




If I look at the message source in Outlook Express is says it is Base64 Encoded. Could that be the problem? Is there a way to test against that?

Base64 encoding is not a problem.. SA decodes base64 before running it's rules...


What is strange to me is that SA has a rule which detects if the message is base64 encoded, and those rules fired when I ran your message through...

I get these matches:

note: LOCAL_DRUGS_MALEDYSFUNCTION is one of my test rules, it looks for various forms of v-pills. I'll be making my "drugs" ruleset available sometime after it's stable.
