It is an operator which says match either the pattern to the left or the pattern to the right. In your case, the pattern to the right is the null pattern which matches everywhere so that pattern will always match. > **I've used the new rules as opposed to the legacy rules on this page. > And was not specific as to where mailman should look. > > To my understanding this includes the message headers, subject and body. > Testing proved this to be true.

I don't know how you tested, but the patterns in header_filter_rules are matched only against message and sub-part headers, not against any body text. To match against body text, you need a custom handler. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030615> and the example MyHandler.py script linked therefrom. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
