So the "^" means that the expression must commence at the beginning of a new line. >> Now I see in man regex 3 that perhaps ^ and $ are beginning and ending >> anchors. (It's vague, but it seems to make sense.) > > begin, end. vague? :) So the "$" indicates that the end of the expression is also the end of the line? What would cause the following to work sporadically? /Offending String/ REJECT (in body_checks.regexp) It seems that it depends on whether the offending string is in an attachment or not. Must I do something different to look for an offending string inside an attachment? Sincerely, Michael Keen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
