That is correct. >For reasons I don't entirely understand (remember I'm not a python >expert), "^" and "$" are not matching the beginning and end of >individual lines of a multiline string, even though I interpreted >http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/matching-searching.html to say >that they should, and a colleague who's very familiar with Python also >thought they should. It works for me. I just set a header_filter_rules regexp on a test list to "^subject:.*hello.*$" with a reject action, and my test post with Subject: test Hello in subject was rejected with "Message rejected by filter rule match". In case you're wondering, the Subject: was the 15th of 21 headers in the message delivered to Mailman. I then tested the regexp "^subject:\s+yes\s*$" with a post with Subject: yes and it too was caught. >If I don't have the line beginning/ending constraints in the regex, >there is a risk (albeit small) that a subject header could match. So >I ended up with "\nx-spam-flag:\s+yes\s*\n". That should be equivalent to "^x-spam-flag:\s+yes\s*$" in header_filter_rules. Does the actual search in your SpamDetect.py say if re.search(pattern, headers, re.IGNORECASE|re.MULTILINE): >By the way, MM FAQ entry 3.32 and 3.51 are inconsistent about "^" and >"$", and based on my experience 3.51 is wrong. I have revised 3.32 which I think was the incorrect one, but we still have to resolve why it works for me and not for you. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
