I recently discovered that archiving rules like "From:
someth...@example.com" or "To: someth...@example.com" will also trigger
for e-mail addresses like "justsometh...@example.com". Is there any way
to perform an exaxct matching?
I already tried entering the following regexes when creating the rules
via the web gui:
"someth...@example.com"
^ someth...@example.com
^someth...@example.com
Any help is appreciated :)
Take a message as an eml file, and run pilertest against it to see how
piler sees the message. Only showing the To: results between asterisks
(*).
Let's take the following message (#1) (only the To: header):
To: user.n...@example.com
after parsing:
to: *user.n...@example.com user name example com (example.com )*
Then another message (#2):
To: "User, Name" user.n...@example.com
after parsing:
to: *user name user.n...@example.com user name example com (example.com
)*
If you specified "^user.n...@example.com" (without quotes), then you
could match
message #1, but miss #2.
If you specified "user.n...@example.com" (without quotes), then you
could match
both message #1 and #2, however also match otheruser.n...@example.com,
which you
don't want.
So the solution takes 2 patterns:
"^user.n...@example.com" to catch #1
and
" user.n...@example.com" to catch #2 (notice the prepended space!)
Again, you shouldn't use the quotes when you type these patterns, the
quotes
here only serve as a clear distinction.
