We are running Windows 2003 with IIS6 and ISAPI Rewrite 2.0.  This is what is currently in the httpd.ini file

RewriteRule .*/([a-z,0-9]){12,12}/$ /default.aspx?gmid=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule .*/([a-z,0-9]{12,12})$ /default.aspx?gmid=$1 [I,L]

What this does is look for a 12 character string after the '/' in the domain name.  If it URL matches, it will play what we call a GoldMail.  If it doesn't you get a custom 404 page that says "Sorry your GoldMail was not entered correctly".

We've now run into the issue where the customer will add parameters to the GoldMail for whatever reason.  What happens is that with the added parameters the string is no longer 12 characters and they get the custom 404 page.

Here is an example:

This works fine:  http://play.goldmail.com/6odg5x9vz4ep

This doesn't work: http://play.goldmail.com/6odg5x9vz4ep?utm_source=Test&utm_medium=Test&utm_campaign=Test

How can I rewrite it to ignore any parameters added to the URL?  For instance tell it to ignore the ? and everything after it?.  If that isn't possible, do you have another solution on how we can accomplish this?

Please try using the following config instead of the one above:

RewriteRule /([a-z,0-9]{12})(?:\?.*)?$ /default.aspx\?gmid=$1 [I,L]
