Two Email Questions

[A|2]

Is there some way that I can block ALL email to a particular email address? Why would I want to do this you ask? Simple, the account name that is attached to my account on the server is hit by almost 100 spam messages a day, I want to have that blocked...I want nothing to go into that mailbox.

Second, how do I open an attachment in the Ubimail? I received an email last night with an attachmant and I could figure out how to open it, I had to log into squirrelmail to download the attachment...anyway around this??

Thanks!

Question I:
Various approaches: Delete the account AND ...
1. Kill the catch-all and set it to ignore or fail.
2. create an autoresponder
3. forward the message to a "blackhole", i.e. an account like null@uiuc.edu or some other blackhole account.
* Set the address to :blackhole: or :fail:

When you open email message, you see a list of attchments (by filename)

Click on the filename and it will OPEN A NEW WINDOW. (be careful if you have a pop-up blocker. It would cblock this popup and not allow you to download).

Pretty much that is it... give it a try, i am guess you had a pop-up killer...

if not, let us know what happens when you click...

Question II:
I don't know for sure, but I have a guess as to what is wrong. I do not know which version of UebiMiau we have installed at hostpc. I submit that the missing attachment issue probably stems from a case issue. If the header is "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" (lowercase) then everything will be fine, however, if it is "Content-Type: MULTIPART/MIXED;" (uppercase), then it will not be displayed as an attachment. To verify this solution, check the headers of the messages with attachments you can view/download and compare them to those you cannot.

I assume this issue has been resolved by the UebiMiau developers, if not then it should be a trivial fix/patch--either modify the code to convert everything to lowercase first or, if using RegExps, do a case-insensitive match.
