Simple rules on simple words work OK without any milters installed and
running. So I guess my problem is not in installing something additionally
on top. There is something fishy and somewhere else going on.
As I said earlier the one below works just fine.
/^Subject: Viagra/ discard
There are other rules that do not work.
For example this one
/^Subject:.*\*{5}SPAM\*{5}/DISCARD *SPAM*
lets absolutely anything in without ever stopping it, despite the fact that
tests run on this rule return no errors at all.
>no you don't understand the point
I hear you and get your point across. What I am saying is that when there is
no live person involved in doing something you cannot really say that this
person is guilty in doing that something. He wasn't involved. He simply
wasn't there. There was only a machine taking part (sever in your case).
>the is a large difference between "one do not read or understand a mail"
>or "the server admin confirmed that he received the mail but dropped it
>silently and so it never made it to the inbox"
Does your server admin personally reply to every *single* email by saying
for example, "thank you, your message is well-received and I will personally
make sure the addressee will read it and then puts his name, last name,
date, and possibly his signature beneath? I guess not :-) Therefore I
thought that there were only machines taking part in these, not live people
doing live responses as illustrated a bit above :-)
>if you are doing that no lawyer can help you because you have to know

>frankly everybody in germany knows that such a wrong setup is forbidden
You have your own country rules and laws as I said earlier. It's different
everywhere. Plus, again most probably your know it better since perhaps you
are in this business so I'll let you live and cope with it. It's not a
concern of mine in any way. I simply expressed my personal view because it
did not sound logical to me.
