this image attached to HTML email in first place?

It's a reference to another MIME section of a multipart/related section.

I use something like: ((?i)img alt="".*src="cid\:)

However, it can be overly agressive so watch it!

I've had similar Regexes in my keyword list in the past, but they are indeed too agressive.

Since we can't stop anybody using Outlook to compose their mail in HTML or even worse with Word as the editor, you will always be blocking mails of those users with embedded images...

I especially encountered problems with users using graphical signatures and had to remove the keyword again.

If anybody knows how to block mails containing nothing else that an image included by cid:, they would really make my day!

Cheers,

Mike

i found RegEx filter that Desperado posted

((?i)img alt="".*src="cid\:)

blocked images and all blocked items were 100% +ve

I wrote other RegEx and also found it was too aggressive.

However when it stopped, it stopped many many spam. So i know

a large number of this CID images are still being delivered to users :(

thanks!

Please note that SpamFilter now scans images for "Spam Signatures"  I have been testing this version and it really works well.
