Hey,
that's a cool tip (I just forgot that I could use a regexp in the ACLs).
But it won't work in this case, as its not "Message-ID: Garbage" but
"GarbageMessage-ID: XXX". Even if matching '$hdr_<EF><BB><BF>Message-ID'
would work (not shure about that), this would only be a very specific
solution. Any other idea?
