Re: [IMail Forum] IMail filtering on non-existent value

[E. Shanbrom \(Ipswitch\)]

The parser in the rules engine was changed in 8.11 The one that was added is more w compliant. the string you specified contains 2 operators( the [ and ] ) and 4 letters. your statement check the subject for any one of these letters S, P, A, or M. The Square Bracket operator means anytihing soecified between them. To make them literal you need to escape the operator with a backslash "\" so the rule should look like   if the subject contains \[SPAM\] forward to.....   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffery Rehm To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 11:56 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail filtering on non-existent value I have IMail sitting behind ASSP.  ASSP is set to add [SPAM] to the subject line of incoming emails seen as spam (the value here includes the brackets).  Then, I have an inbound rule for the domain in IMail that says If Subject contains [SPAM], forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED].   I'm not sure what IMail is looking at, but it forwards all emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not just those where the subject contains [SPAM].  I have other installs set up the same way and I don't have this problem with them.   I deleted and recreated the inbound rule, but it didn't make a difference.  I've check the header of the email and the only line with [SPAM] in it is   X-IMail-Rule : S~[SPAM]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Data- ST   Imail is adding this line, but the email as it comes from ASSP to IMail does not have [SPAM] anywhere in it, much less the subject line.
