Spam RAR in RAR getting thru

[grnews]

Hi, I have Newsbin 6.31 Build 1877 with Agressive Spam Filters on. I am continually ending up with password protected RAR files in my UnRAR folder. I looked at other posts and did some checking. These are not getting by via the missing first RAR in the set. It is all happening during auto download.

PM me the subject of a couple of them and I'll check it out. Don't post it here.

Thanks for the links.

They're pretty clever. The first RAR is there but, only 450K of it so, the NFO is listed but, the other files in the set aren't. They force a repair every time.

I'll have to look into it.

Is it possible to tell from any good part of the post that it is a RAR in RAR?
I don't care if it has a password or not, they are almost always garbage.
If you can tell and add an option to kill those too, that would be great.
The small # of legit ones that get failed can always be manually downloaded.

Well, that's the part I have to look into. It already filters "large RAR inside RAR" files but, if most of the first chunk is missing, you can't see the rar filename listed in the first RAR file.

I have a fix for this. It'll be in 6.40. I'm not going to describe how it works for obvious reasons.
