There are two different filters at # Privacy options... ->Spam filters, and they work differently. The more flexible of the two is header_filter_rules. For header_filter_rules the regexps are matched against a multi-line string containing all the unfolded headers in the message, both message headers and sub-part headers. The regexp is a python regexp <http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax> and the headers are searched <http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.search> for a match of the regexp in MULTILINE and IGNORECASE mode. This means the '^' matches the beginning of the string or the null character immediately following a newline and the match is case insensitive. Thus your above expressions look good. The other is bounce_matching_headers which works differently. It expects a header name followed by a colon followed by a regexp to match against the contents of that header - e.g. subject:is out of office would match any subject: header that contained 'is out of office'. This match too is case insensitive. Also, with bounce_matching_headers, you can't specify an action. The action is always 'Hold'. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
