[Show Quoted Text - 13 lines][Hide Quoted Text] [quote] We use the "Ingo" filter plugin for Horde (http://www.horde.org/ingo/), with a standard IMAP backend.[/quote] You can probably search for PDFs in the whole message, then. There is no particular facility to search for attachments with IMAP search commands, and while I'd be happy to hear from Spamcop and work with them on if some sort of special-case rule makes sense, my opinion is that such a rule is too specifically targeted to make sense for Ingo in general. Your best option, of course, is to have a SpamAssassin (or other spam filter engine) rule that recognizes these PDFs. Thanks. I passed your suggestions along to the SpamCop webmail admins. Hopefully they'll consider the SA rule option, since I know they use SA.

What filtering backend (client side filters, procmail, etc.) do they use? (If they don't know, you need to make this feature request through them and have them contact us if they need to). If they use IMAP filtering or something else that supports searching the whole message body and headers, you can probably do this. Otherwise it may not be possible unless the filter backend exposes a specific hook.

I am a SpamCop user and they use your application for the webmail service. Due to all the spam coming in now with PDF attachments, it would be nice if there were an option to filter messages 1) with attachments or 2) with attachments of a specified mime-type, such as "application/pdf".
