Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] IMail
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.
