Problem with Custom Spamassassin Rule

2007-05-10 Thread Bryan K. Walton 
I'm running SA 3.2.0 and am trying to write a custom spamassassin rule
to deal with some recent spam I've been seeing that has 10 additional
spaces in the To: header.  For example:

To:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, I would like to write a rule that looks for at least two
contiguous spaces before the email address brackets in the To: header.
Accordingly, it seems that the following should work:

header LOCAL_XTRA_SPACES_IN_TO To =~ /\s\s+/
score LOCAL_XTRA_SPACES_IN_TO 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 

However, when I test this rule, I don't get a hit.  Can anybody please tell
me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bryan

You'll have to use  To:raw =~  to prevent the extra whitespace from 
being removed and even that might not work.  I think we fixed it so that 
it does though.

Thank you every body that replied.  To:raw =~ was the fix that fixed it.
