I have lots of problems with out-of-office replies. I tried to set up
a few filter rules using 2.1.10. Unfortuantely they don't catch them.
Are the expressions case sensitiv? Are the expressions basic or
extended?
What I tried yet:
^subject:.*Accepted.*
^subject:.*Declined.*
^subject:.*is out of office.*
There are two different filters at # Privacy options... ->Spam filters,
and they work differently.
The more flexible of the two is header_filter_rules. For
header_filter_rules the regexps are matched against a multi-line
string containing all the unfolded headers in the message, both
message headers and sub-part headers. The regexp is a python regexp
<http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax> and
the headers are searched
<http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.search> for a match of the
regexp in MULTILINE and IGNORECASE mode. This means the '^' matches
the beginning of the string or the null character immediately
following a newline and the match is case insensitive. Thus your above
expressions look good.
That's weird. Messages still pass with e.g.
Subject: [Somelist] Declined: Invitation to workshop on 13rd Dec. 2008
in the Header. Do I need to escape the colon? Or something else?
Interesting, with "^subject:.*Declined.*"
Subject: Declined: [Somelist] Invitation to workshop on 13rd Dec. 2008
matches while
Subject: [Somelist] Declined: Invitation to workshop on 13rd Dec. 2008
does not. Huh?!
