Hello, all. I've noticed an increasing number of spam making it through ifile. Some of them I can't think of a good answer for (the ones with nothing but a MIME-attached image and link); these are more the domain of something like SpamAssassin. However, there's another type that I think ifile could do a very good job on. Here's a sample from the body of a recent mail: Yo<kc34sma21py2>uve rea<khuyowp1wuizl>d about them in the P<ks4nj3w258mkq1>apers.... (If you're reading this list in HTML, try turning it off). Basically, this completely ruins ifile's effectiveness. However a simple addition to the word tokenizer to skip anything between matched <>'s would completely avoid this problem (as well as stop making "font", "color", etc. my most popular words, spam or otherwise). Of course this should be optional, but I think it would be a great addition, as adding a preprocessor to handle this seems like a horrible duplication of effort as ifile's already tokenizing... Thoughts? --David Bushong
