filtering on non-existent value
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.....

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.
