Duncan, Thanks for the regex refresher. Yes, I do understand regular expressions, and was just trying to quickly contrive an example, which I admit turned out to be sloppy.

So for a real Pan-generated example: %BOS [*] Score: =-9999 From: ^"oxenfreeze" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>$ %EOS Since many spammers (at least in the newsgroups I frequent) always present the same name, but with random strings for the e-mail address, would Pan properly parse & score this rule: %BOS [*] Score: =-9999 From: oxenfreeze %EOS or %BOS [*] Score: =-9999 From: hotmail %EOS I realize that I could use a "begins with" regex ala: %BOS [*] Score: =-9999 From: ^"oxenfreeze" %EOS for the specific case above, but I'm just wondering if there is a specific reason why the GUI doesn't present the "contains" option.
