Hello,

sorry for the late answer, but had to get a new Laptop on eBay...

1) All you have to do to test a body-egrep rule is to try
it on your command line with grep.  For me, going to my
spam folder and typing

   % grep -w 'img src=\"\"' *

produces no hits.

Right, since there are never two "" in serie

If I get rid of the quoted double-quotation marks after the
equals sign and try

   % grep -w 'img src=' *

I also get no hits in my spam folder, but I get 6 hits in my
last-100-good-mail folder.  (That folder is actually a
backup of the last 100 non-whitelisted, non-spam-tagged
email; it's mostly business mail, but none of it is spam.)

I use:
        % grep --ignore-case -w 'img src=' *

and got heavy hits on OVER 2,8 million messages in my folders,
where arround 4800 are Falsepositives and definitivly no spam.

But those commercial E-Mails are already whitelisted and will
not filtered out

Are you sure that expression -- with or without the empty quotes --
works on lots of your spam?

I think not.
