Hi Martin,
Yes, I guess you're right :(
Absolutely no hope in it then. The thing is that I've made, long
time ago, a whole system to intercept the spam using IMail rules... IMail
forwards it to a program alias, where a perl script processes the email,
logs it into the database, saves a copy, categorizes it and build a nice
graphic, and rules can be administered from there fairly easily... we
currently have abount 800 rules... the worst if it, is that it does work..
currently 1100 emails are filtered daily.
I guess is time for a change... :( (lots of more unhappy
faces)...
THANKS for you opinion!
Javier

Hi ,
if you are searching for literal "[" characters. In my case I intend to
use
it as a character class definition, something that basically means [ABC]
forgot everything you know about RegEx at the time your building rules for
IMail.
IMail RegEx supports that, what is documented in the manual only.
I think, your rule is the absolute limit for IMail.
I made the experience, that too complexe rules might confuse the RegEx
engine. The result are unstable results.
Im also fighting against the image only spam mails and it's quite difficult
or even impossible with IMail without using 3th party tools. mxGuard helps.
It uses DNS blacklists much more better than IMail.
If you want to use RegExt stuff as you know, probably from your programming
experience, you should pimp IMail with ASSP or SpamAssasin. Both products
are a kind of a RegEx paradise ;-)
The RegEx stuff from IMail was never updated by Ipswitch since years. So, i
don't think, that IMail ever will support a full RegEx Set.
