Reindl, Please play nice. Dave was exactly correct and friendly with his response to you. Liberty, tolerance and respect are not zero sum concepts. (Stealing the excellent phrase from Judge Robert Hinkle.) As Dave said, SpamAssassin is written in Perl not PHP. The *Perl* docs are the ones you should reference not the PHP docs. http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html The reason @ needs to be escaped is because in Perl "@array" is a string containing an array variable that expands to an array value. To be a literal at sign in the string it needs "\@array" and that is the Perl syntax. http://perldoc.perl.org/perldata.html Bob
