Thanks for the reply Eric.
If I keep appending to this rule, I will eventually reach the max length per line. I thought the purpose of the external file is so I can mantain the rules as a list.
Thanks again.
syntax for the .rul file is different than the standard .ima file. For your situation the spamsubject.rul would be the following:(Viagra|mortgage rates|free casino|etc.) with the rules.ima file looking like this: S~:spamsubject:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allen Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 9:58 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Help with domain filter > Could it be the file name length? > > Try 8.3 format as I have seen a similar problem before > > Allen > > > > > Hi, > > I have created a file called: SpamSubject.rul in the Imail root > directory.
