The line that caused your problem is: Subject Test 3 S~ tells the rules to check the subject line, so that's how I know where the problem is.
To confirm this wasn't an interaction between Imail and Declude changing a variable (as $ is sometimes used as a variable in coding), I put the line in my rules.ima and it immediately started trapping all emails with anything in the subject line - and I don't use Declude. Status: U X-IMail-Rule: S~$:[EMAIL PROTECTED] X-UIDL: 384504219 As $ is used as a variable in many routines it can come down to only 2 options 1) IpSwitch has a bug in it's code and by using $ it is catching ANY CHARACTER in a subject line or 2) $ should have been included in the list of character with special meaning in the rules section which it never has. An Ipswitch error either way. Further testing shows that the rule does not trigger if you put in S~\$:filter ....adding the \ I haven't tested the change with a $ in the subject line, but this appears $ should be a character added to the special meaning list in rules as it appears to act as a wildcard for any character. It doesn't trigger if the subject line is blank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Armbrecht Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail Rule problems.... Since 8.11 upgrade, we have several customers complaining that the filters they setup via webmail are not working or are not working correctly; (a general filter looking for the subject phrase "SPAM ??" has stopped working in my own mailbox too) Example - this one customer has several SUBJECT CONTAINS filters setup all in one filter rule with OR statements with matches being deleted. This caused ALL of his email inbound to be auto-deleted. We split the rules out to separate rules and re-routed from NUL to a folder in his box to detect which exact element is causing the issue and this is the rule/filter that is tripped on our test message: 05:14 11:31 SMTP-(e664bf0600f61d3c) Inbound X-IMail-Rule: This is the header message of the test message sent by myself: Received: from gws1 [192.168.1.101] by globalweb.net with ESMTP (SMTPD32-8.11) id A664BF0600F6; Fri, 14 May 2004 11:31:48 -0400 From: "GlobalWeb.net Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Test 3 Date: Fri, 14 May 2004 11:29:34 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510 Thread-Index: AcQ5yEKEo5Zf+5H3SNuHRYC1GonGgw== X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1409 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Declude-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [192.168.1.101] X-Spam-Tests-Failed: Whitelisted [0] X-Note: Weight: [0] X-Country-Chain: X-Note: This E-mail was sent from (Private IP) ([192.168.1.101]).
