I forgot on my followup:
I hoping not to be restricted by consecutive lines. I'm hoping for a nice
simple number of characters between occurences.
Also, Your message trips your and my modification of Matt's rule if I use
{0,99}, but it does not trip if I try to do {0,200}. I'm wondering if there is
a limit to how big that number can be or perhaps a timeout issue. The "clean
message" note in the maillog says the {0,99} test was 1.0 seconds - if that is
useful. I don't see that log entry for the {0,200} test.
