hi baris
i tried to use "forbidden line" rules but it did not
work for me.
following along my original example below, lets say i
wanted to make my conf file:
   forbidden_header_lines = "nikken"

when i tried this it seemed to work fine and i was
going to monitor it over a few days to see if less
spam arrived.  but since i was there, i went ahead and
added a few other entries to the line:
   forbidden_header_lines =
"nikken|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|amazon"
and then i went to lunch.

when i returned and viewed the log, I found that EVERY
email was getting rejected for "HEADER" reasons and
not until I removed this back to only one token
"nikken" did it start allowing email through.

i'm on 1.0-r4.
it would be nice if i got this working, but much
better when you get it fixed in code.  thanks for a
great product!
