Okay, it looks like the header_filter_rules are getting set correctly through all interfaces, including the web u/i -- I have been unable to reproduce the errors I had initially observed with escaping of backslashes. Perhaps I got my tests muddled.
I've also spent some time figuring out why even the simplest regex I could think of wasn't matching as I thought it should. I instrumented Handlers/SpamDetect.py to watch what was going on. Here's the result: In applying header_filter_rules, it looks like the entire set of headers is being treated as a single multiline string. For reasons I don't entirely understand (remember I'm not a python expert), "^" and "$" are not matching the beginning and end of individual lines of a multiline string, even though I interpreted http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/matching-searching.html to say that they should, and a colleague who's very familiar with Python also thought they should. If I don't have the line beginning/ending constraints in the regex, there is a risk (albeit small) that a subject header could match. So I ended up with "\nx-spam-flag:\s+yes\s*\n". By the way, MM FAQ entry 3.32 and 3.51 are inconsistent about "^" and "$", and based on my experience 3.51 is wrong. Thanks for your help. -- David E.
