> re:.thanks! > re:.approved Mirko - I'm assuming by "script" you mean the sendmail LOCAL_RULESET "CheckSubject" rule that I use, in sendmail.mc/cf. Generally speaking, I use the subjects_part list far more that the subjects_full list, simply because if I declare a full match on "approved", and then an email comes in "re: approved", the complete subject obviously no longer matches. So technically, if you wanted to use the subjects_full file, you'd have to account for all of the following variants: approved re: approved fwd: approved ... and so on. On the other hand, you have to be carefule with what you put in the partial subjects file (subjects_part), because adding the word "approved" there would also bounce emails with subjects such as "management just approved your project". If the likelyhood of clashes such as that example bother you, then add all the permutations you can think of, to the full file. Other times, the partial list can cover you, with less likelyhood of causing clashes like the one I just described. Lastly, it sounds like you may be forgetting that recent versions of sendmail actually now use TWO .cf files... sendmail.cf (for files received via port 25), and submit.cf (for messages "submitted" locally on the machine... with the "mail" command, for example.) Be sure you have the rule added to BOTH .cf files, or you will have different behavior, depending upon whether the mail was received via port 25, or whether you typed a "mail" command at the commandline. mirko _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
