Hello all,
I am trying to stop a particular group of messages from going to
several of my lists. I am looking at the Subject line of the message
to do the filtering and I am using the header_filter_rules in Spam
Filtering. My regex filter is:
^Subject:[\s\+]*\[.*\]\s+(Invitation|Canceled Event):.*
and the Subject lines I am trying to catch and reject the message look
like:
Subject: [MYLIST] Invitation: Test event @ Thu Feb 28,
2013 10:00 - 11:00 ([email protected])
or
Subject: [MYLIST] Canceled Event: Test event @ Thu Feb 28,
2013 10:00 - 11:00 ([email protected])
I have set the action for the rule to reject, however, the messages
still get posted to the list.
I have tested the regex above using the python interactive interpreter
and the regex does match the various inputs used.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is with my regex?
Also, can any of the sender/recipient filters cause the message to
bypass the spam filters? The message pipeline is unchanged.
Thanks,
Chris
Make sure you have set the "Action" for the filter to some other than
Defer or Accept.
I did set the "Action" to "Reject".
A previous Accept that matches the message will override this filter.
Not a problem. Yet. I only have the one filter.
Also, note that I think the filter it tested BEFORE the [MYLIST] is
added to the subject by the list, so is only there to be matched if it
was in the original email.
This was the answer. Thank you. I should have realized that but I just
wanted to get it done so I can move on to other critical work. Taking
out the [MYLIST] check from the regex worked and I could add back in
addition constraints to the regex to make it more targeted.
Thanks again Richard.
Chris
