Turn OFF Normalize words on the Content Filtering Tab.

That should stop what you are seeing.

first... THANKS FOR THE REPLY.... I was beginning to wonder if this forum that ipswitch installed was a place for answers or, just a place to post problems.

Turning off normalize takes care of the web-site getting interpeted as "website" but then how do I detect "web-site"? Putting "web-site" in the phrase filter doesn't do the trick. I think that the "-" is being ignored or stripped during the filter process.

Ditto for the spammers using "t.a.k.e. m.e. o.f.f" tricks. Putting the phrase "t.a.k.e. m.e. o.f.f" in the phrase list will not catch it. I think the "dots" are being stripped during the filter check

and now that I am on the soap box... whats the reasoning behind checking for URL's but only in emails that are correctly tagged as HTML?

Outlook, outlook express, etc will still display links even it they tag the email as text.

By checking a URL but only if it's tagged as HTML forces everyone to enter the URL in both the URL filtering and the PHRASE filtering and then.... lo and behold, you cannot enter a full domain name in the PHRASE FILTER because the "dots" get ignored.

in PHRASE list, you cannot enter "dummy.com" or "www.dummy.com". You can try "dummy com" (but it won't get caught) or you can try "dummy" (leaving off the dots, and it STILL won't get caught.

seems nuts to me... and no clear direction from ipswitch... or at least I haven't been able to find it via the docs or google searches.
