I have added

^X-Mailer: (?!Microsoft Outlook .*)$

as the first rule and set to Hold according to your instructions.

I tried to block all mails except the mails from MS Outlook. However today, I received an email with header like:

X-Mailer: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000

I couldn't understand why this header did not go to pending moderator requests.

In some of our lists, we are receiving excessive spam messages. We

^X-mailer: .*$
This includes the one above it.


^X-Mailer-LID: .*$
^X-Mailer-RecptId: .*$
^X-Mailer-SID: .*$
^X-Mailer-Sent-By: .*$
^X-Spam-Status: Yes.*$
^X-Spam-Flag: YES
^X-Virus-Status: Yes

We don't want to receive any mails from external mail systems, only real
persons can send emails.

We enter this list to the bounce_matching_headers part (in the admin
panel, under Spam Filtering).

bounce_matching_headers doesn't work that way. See the '(Details for
bounce_matching_headers' link.

Regexps like the above should go in header_filter_rules with an
appropriate action.
