Do I need to escape the colon? Or something else? I just tested a rule with the three regexps ^subject:.*Accepted.* ^subject:.*Declined.* ^subject:.*is out of office.* copied from your post and Action set to Reject, and a message with Subject: [Somelist] Declined: Invitation to workshop on 13rd Dec. 2008 was rejected for matching the rule. Perhaps you didn't set the rule action. Note that Action = Defer does not mean defer the post; it means defer the rule - i.e. don't enforce it. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
