Then if a msg came in from debian-user with the word "Test" in the Subject the message would -not- be deleted. On the other hand, if a certain member of that list annoyed you and you did DENY=^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED] his mail wouldn't be deleted because of the above ALLOW. Also, if you use SCORE, the above allow will -not- delete the message if it exceeds HIGHSCORE and comes from debian-user. On the otherhand if you do SCORE +100 = ^Subject:.*Test -and- do -not- have the above ALLOW, Test will be deleted (if HIGHSCORE = 100) even if it comes from debian-user. You will also delete mails that have Subjects like this as well Testing is not working debian testing has good software plese help me test this program first testament so you will have to use extended regex to fine tune your rules. [OT] I found a spam killer header last night. Run this on -your- mailfilter logs. egrep ^X-pstn-levels: mailfilterlog Every mail that has that header, was spam. I checked 4 days of logs and all day today withou one good mail having that header. SCORE +10o = ^X-pstn-levels: Is catching mail that my other (extensive) rules were missing.
