Since I upgraded to the newest release...we have been getting some really bizarre entries in our whitelist delivery file...like this:

Now our users are complaining about previously whitelisted entries being blocked...what happened here...and there are lots of lines like this in the file...

Terry,

The file is probably now encoded in unicode UTF16 instead of 8-bit ascii as before, but SpamFilter should be able to read it. Could you please zip it and email it to us at support at logsat dot com so we can double-check?

Were the log files and\or whitelist converted to Unicode as part of the upgrade?  Is there a way to switch it back to ASCII?  This has disabled a downstream process.

Starting from v4.6.1.119, SpamFilter supports the use of Unicode in the various blacklists/whitelists, which is very useful as it allows to specify keywords in foreign languages for searches in the subjects and body. As a consequence, SpamFilter's logfile and the various blacklist/whitelist files are now encoded in 16bit Unicode (specifically in UTF16 Little Endian) instead of UTF8.

There is no way to revert to ASCII other than reverting back to a version of SpamFilter prior to 4.6.1.119, and re-encoding the various config files back to ASCII.

As a side-note, we can try to assist with the changes in your coding for the downstream process (to the best of our ability...!). If you want to contact me at support at logsat dot com we can try to help.

Made a Little script... it works fine.
 
:: Convert unicode to Ansicode
::  was changed without announcement
md ANSI
 for %%a in (*.log *.?log?) do type "%%a">"ANSI\%%a"
 for %%a in (*.log *.?log?) do attrib -r -h -s "%%a"
cd ANSI
:: for %%a in (*.txt *.?txt?) do move /y "%%a" ..\
cd..
:: rd ANSI
