Hello,

  during many years I didn't find a valid solution yet.

If you write a rule, you should update the rule for every variant. They 
change frequently.

If you block the encrypted content some customer will complain.

I'm trying the bodyre hashbl rule approach: I hash the content ("pass: 
XXX") and I put it on a local DNSBL. It's easier for me.

Warm Regards

	Marco
