Hi,

Seems we lately receive a lot of mails that start with an ISO header.

Most of these start with "=?ISO8859-16?" but sometimes in different ISO formats as well.

We know these are spam, but is there anything else we can do about them to block and especially decode them?

 

Currently I created a sender filter as these always start with the "=?ISO8859-16?" as the mail address always start with the ISO part.

 

Thanks!

Don,

Seeing a subject that starts with =?ISO... is not necessarily a problem. Email headers cannot be in any other language but English and therefore, foreign languages are encoded using this method. 

What is the exact score of these emails?
