Content Filtering Help - 29.Sep.2008 12:16:43 PM

I currently have three Content Filters setup. Each is meant to block the links as listed below.  I do this via MS, because no matter what I do in ME, I cannot get the filter to actually block links containing these words. 

(Block .cn Enabled 0) (Block livefilestore.com Enabled 1) (Block spaces.live.com Enabled 2)

However, only the first filter actually works.  I had a lot of emails blocked that contained the .cn, however, emails that contained spaces.live.com, or livefilestore.com were allowed through.  (also, incidentally, this doesn't work every time either - at least one of my users will still receive emails with a .cn link, while the other users get blocked).

Any advice? How can I get MS to filter all of these, or alternatively, how can I get ME to do it?

Anyone?  I have a hard time believing that I'm the only one using Content Filtering in MS.  

ME doesn't seem to filter out HTML content (such as .cn in a link of http://buymoresht.cn) but MS does (well, at least the first content filter enabled works but the rest do not).

Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?

Is the content filtering a supported feature?

Keyword filtering in ME works great for non HTML content (at least that is my experience).  MS Content filtering is able to catch what ME cannot, but it looks like multiple content filters do not work.  I prefer to keep my content filters separate since they are easier to filter out of the quarantine, and once I am confident I am getting no false positives, I will change the rules to deleting the offending email.  Content filtering gives me the ability to delete all emails containing .cn, but quarantine all that contain spaces.live.com, whereas Keyword filtering does not.

Frankly, I don't care if we come up with a way for MailArchiver to filter out these messages, I just need a solution.  Anyone at all able to assist?

I thought this was a rather simple question.  Did I phrase it in a way anyone out there could understand?

3 content filters active.  All doing very similar things.  First one is setup to block .cn in the message body.  Second one is setup to block livefilestore.com.  Third is setup to block spaces.live.com.  All three have match whole words unchecked.  Only difference is the last two will send an email to the administrator (me) when an email is blocked.  All are set to quarantine the email.

I have left them as 3 different rules so I can handle them separately (in the future).  Ideally, I'll keep it this way, unless I can get it to work in a single rule. 

I have debug logging enabled, but its not helping me out too much here.  Any suggestions?  Can MailEssentials do this?
