  Message Filter Rules
Attachment 
Scanning 
a
attachment-contains(<regular 
expression
>)
Does the message contain an attachment that 
contains text or another attachment that matches 
a specific pattern? Does the pattern occur the 
minimum number of times you specified for the 
threshold value? 
This rule is similar to the 
body-contains()
 rule, 
but it attempts to avoid scanning the entire 
“body” of the message. That is, it attempts to 
scan only that which the user would view as 
being an attachment. See 
Attachment 
Scanning 
attachment-binary-contains(<
regular expression
>)
Does the message contain an attachment with 
binary data that matches a specific pattern?  
This rule is like the 
attachment-contains ()
 
rule, but it searches specifically for patterns in 
the binary data. 
Attachment 
Scanning
every-attachment-contains(<r
egular expression
>)
Do all of the attachments in this message contain 
text that matches a specific pattern? The text 
must exist in all attachments and the action 
performed is, in effect, a logical AND operation 
of an '
attachment-contains()
' for each 
attachment. The body is not scanned. Does the 
pattern occur the minimum number of times you 
specified for the threshold value? 
Attachment Size
a
attachment-size
Does the message contain an attachment whose 
size is within some range? This rule is similar to 
the 
body-size
 rule, but it attempts to avoid 
scanning the entire “body” of the message. That 
is, it attempts to scan only that which the user 
would view as being an attachment. The size is 
evaluated prior to any decoding. See 
Public Blacklists
dnslist(<query server>)
Does the sender’s IP address appear on a public 
blacklist server (RBL)? See
