Hi,
The 'isin' command does not accept multiple strings to match, it can only be
uses in the form -
isin("header","string-not-case-sensitive")
Try using something like this -
$allow_large = "telekabel.cable-gang,news.nb.nu.support"
if(size()>50000) then
if(matchone("newsgroups",$allow_large)) then
if(size()>250000) reject "large binaries not allowed!"
end if
else
reject "Binaries not allowed!"
end if
accept "Article OK"
The above will allow posts up to 250000 bytes where telekabel.cable-gang or
news.nb.nu.support is posted or cross posted to. If you wish to restrict
these further and disallow crossposts of large posts to other groups (not in
this list), then use matchall() rather than matchone().
You can test rules using the 'rules_trace' command -
tellnews rules_trace c:\rul.txt c:\test.txt
Where rul.txt is the rule file you wish to test, and test.txt is the full
article to test (including headers).
