All of the above should work, but the ones that don't start with '^' or '\n' may be too generous. e.g. they will accept X-Bogus-Header: something about a subject: with digital commons I suspect your underlying issue is that the 'accept' action for header_filter_rules does not mean accept this post bypassing all other potential membership checks and miscellaneous holds. It just means pass the header_filter_rules check. If you want to unconditionally accept a message based on the Subject: header, you need to create a custom handler for that.
