Anti-Spam Filtering Chinese Characters

Please any help with this.... I am receiving these types of emails like crazy and they are not being blocked by Sophos because of all the foreign language writing characters.  Need a solution to blocking these emails for good.

Mike, show us the originating IP and subject for about a half-dozen.  You should be able to find them using Mail Manager.

Cheers - Bob

Good Morning Bob,

  One unfortunate thing is that the originating IP addresses are the mailhop IP addresses (52.58.7.120, 54.148.229.97) that I use for all the email, at least what I am seeing in Mail Manager.  But I can easily provide subject lines.

I'd be tempted to change your MX record to point at your UTM directly as I doubt that Mailhop's anti-spam is any better than the UTM's.  Also, since I'm not seeing this problem with others, I wonder if you're "fooling" the SMTP Proxy into delivering those emails because they're coming from Mailhop.

If you want to quarantine these emails, you could make some Expressions like 回, 与 and 生.

Good Evening Bob,

   I have created an expression for each of those characters.... well I hope that I created the expressions correctly.  I essentially put each of the characters on it's own line in the expressions box of the Anti-Spam tab.

   As for my MX records they point directly at my Exchange Servers, internal to the network, my MX record on DynDNS points to the Mailhop, but that is mainly because of the non-standard port configuration.  Everything else points to my UTM.  Not sure if I would receive email if I pointed it to the UTM instead of Mailhop.

Thanks,

Michael Mastro

I didn't follow your description of "my MX records" and "Everything else points to my UTM," so I can't be sure, but I've not seen a situation where an external service was necessary to get mail through the SMTP Proxy to Exchange.
