Re: [Mimedefang] local rule with wildcard checking subject
Dear All,
Many thanks to all of you for support.
It's working now. Obviously I made a mistake in my previous settings.
I was looking for a single character wildcard and a dot "." is doing the job
well.
Have a nice day
// Hans

This is really better suited to the SpamAssassin Users List (see
https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/MailingLists) but it seems simple enough
that I expect Dianne won't mind an answer here...
The file /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf is a SpamAssassin config file, so all its
directives are SA directives and all rules are SA rules. As such, they use Perl
regular expressions (a.k.a. "regex") for pattern matching. If you are
unfamiliar with regular expressions, 'man 7 regex'
on Linux or 'man 7 re_format' on MacOS or any of the *BSDs will give you the
standard for regex and 'man perlre' for the Perl variations.
To illustrate an answer to your wildcard question, here's the definition of a
rule named "SCC_STOCK_ROCK" that I once found useful:
describe SCC_STOCK_ROCKSkater dood wording for stock tips
headerSCC_STOCK_ROCKSubject =~ /St0ck .* R0ck/
score SCC_STOCK_ROCK2.0
Technically the 'describe' and 'score' lines are optional, with the default
score of a rule being 1.0.
The 'header' line is the meat. There are 3 parts after the rule name:
1. "Subject" is the name of the header to be matched.
2. "=~" is the Perl regular expression match operator.
3. "/St0ck .* R0ck/" is a regular expression delimited by '/'.
The '.*' in that regex means any character (.) repeated any number of times (*)
and because the regex. is not "anchored" at either end there's an implied '.*'
before and after it, so the whole regex would match any of these:
Subject: H0t St0ck that's sure to R0ck!!!
Subject: St0ck will R0ck
Subject: St0ck R0ck!!!
Note the 2 spaces in the last one...
It would NOT match:
Subject: St0ck R0ck
Subject: St0cks that R0ck
The '#' character is a Perl metacharacter (marking the start of a
comment) so it needs to be escaped with a preceding backslash (\) as does any
other Perl metacharacter (notably % and @) and any character that can have
special meaning in regex syntax: ./(){}[]&^$?+*\|

[Mimedefang] local rule with wildcard checking subject
Dear All, I am using mimedefang version 2.79 in combination with SpamAssassin. I have several rules defined in /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf which all works fine. Now I tried to define a rule testing a subject with a wildcard. But all my tests failed. Is there a way to define a wildcard checking the subject line ? I also had an issue to escape the '#' character. Any idea how to do ? Any help is welcome.

[Mimedefang] bad_exts in zip files
Dear All, Mimedefang version: 2.79 In file "mimedefang-filter" there are several extensions listed in $bad_exts They are all caught if such a file is sent as attachment and moved to a quarantine directory. There is also the feature "Archive::Zip" If such a file with a bad extension is inside a zip-archive most of them are removed but some of them not. Any idea why this could happen ? Is this a well-known bug of my version and should I upgrade ? Kind regards Hans ___ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.

Re: [Mimedefang] filter for header line
Dear All,
Many thanks for the replies to all of you.
Now I have something to try.
> ... Are you not using SpamAssassin?
Yes, I am doing.
But how can I generate in action in MD for example "action_discard()" ?
Kind regards

I am curious. Why not just add a rule to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf to
match the desired header. Are you not using SpamAssassin?
