I'm not sure that that's an accurate summary of what my testing found - I ended up not getting a score based on an arbitrary header. Checking the score on a message that I know matches my arbitrary scoring rule, it doesn't show the score item I added. The lines I added to ~/News/Score were: %BOS %Score created by JSH [*opensuse.org*] Score:: =9999 X-Forwarded-For: ^[address redacted]$ %EOS Where [address redacted] is a valid IP address. I followed the format used for the From: score that appears above it in the file. > That is of course assuming there wasn't some bug in your regex or the > like, that failed the expected match. =:^\ My initial instinct was that it should have matched, but I realize now that the address I put in didn't escape the '.' characters, which may be causing it to fail. I see that the From: rule example does, so I'll try that when I have a minute free today. > > I guess I should do a bit of experimentation of my own... but I'm lazy. > Still, if I get the motivation... sometimes these things build in the > background until I just decide to do it one day...
