Hi,

Hmm, indeed the manual states I need to escape those periods but......
These two rules DO work:
<DecludeVirus>H~listid.declude.virus:Other lists\Declude antivirus
<DecludeJunkmail>H~listid.declude.junkmail:Other lists\Declude junkmail

Mails for both mailinglists are indeed moved to the right folder and the 
periods are NOT escaped. I've just checked, there are no other rules moving 
mail to these two folders. Also, in the local headers of a mail I find:
X-IMail-Rule: <DecludeVirus>H~listid.declude.virus:Other lists\Declude 
antivirus Data- LISTID.DECLUDE.VIRUS.-16710038
So that rule is indeed applied to move the mail to the proper folder.

Trip/Tom, any idea what's going on?

I'll adjust the rule for the Openvpn list once more, this time I'll try:
<OpenVPNUsers>H~List-Id\: <openvpn-users\.lists\.sourceforge\.net>:Other 
lists\OpenVpn-Users

  I did not catch this before, you have periods, those have to be escaped.

   

  <openVPNUsers>H~List-Id\: <openvpn-users\.lists\.sourceforge\.net>:Other 
lists\OpenVPN-Users

  Hi,

   

  Well, 

  <OpenVPNUsers>H~List-Id\: <openvpn-users.lists.sourceforge.net>:Other 
lists\OpenVpn-Users

  dit not work. I'll try some else next. I'll try 

  <OpenVPNUsers>H~List-Id\: \<openvpn-users.lists.sourceforge.net\>:Other 
lists\OpenVpn-Users

  and see if maybe I DID have to escape the brackets.

    Hi,

     

    The on-line manual states:

    Note: The following characters have special meaning in a rule: {} () | * + 
, . : \    If you want to use one of these characters in a search string, 
precede it with a backslash. For example, to search for a plus sign, enter \+ 
in the search string.

     

    So, escaping the space might have been the error in that rule. I thought I 
needed tot escape the < and > because they now too have a special meaning, the 
name of the rule. But, indeed tha manual does not say so.

     

    I'll change the rule to  

    <OpenVPNUsers>H~List-Id\: <openvpn-users.lists.sourceforge.net>:Other 
lists\OpenVpn-Users

    and see what that will do.

      Why did you escape the space that is between List-Id\: and \<openvpn?

       

      Also, I do not think you have to escape the < or > characters, do you?

      Hi,

       

      Why does this rule not work:

      <OpenVPNUsers>H~List-Id\:\ \<openvpn-users.lists.sourceforge.net\>:Other 
lists\OpenVpn-Users

      As far as I know I have escaped all the special chars

      This is part of the header of a message in that list:

      ....

      X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.8
      Precedence: list
      List-Id: <openvpn-users.lists.sourceforge.net>
      List-Unsubscribe: 
<https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users>, 
       <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
      ....

       

      This message was not transferred to proper folder. Another similar rule:

      <DecludeJunkmail>H~listid.declude.junkmail:Other lists\Declude junkmail

      does work properly. Header for such a message are:

      ....

      X-Identity: 70.91.134.41 | 70-91-134-41-ma-ne.hfc.comcastbusiness.net | 
declude.com
      List-Id: <listid.declude.junkmail.-1671003854956.smtp.declude.com>
      X-Mailing-List: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

      ....

       

       

      For now I've changed the OpenVpn rule to:

      <OpenVPNUsers>S~\[Openvpn-users\]:Other lists\OpenVpn-Users

      but I kinda like the list-id stuff as that will not get confused during 
crossposting a reply as happens sometimes with similar lists like declude 
junkmail and virus and with openvpn users and developers.
