Re: SA rule for userid in subject?

[Jonathan Engbrecht]

Thanks all.  I'm test driving the below-listed rule and it seems to be good and fast as you suggest. I'm a bit jittery on the multi-line rules right now due to an "incident" with what I thought was a brilliant RE that ended up gumming up our system really bad a few weeks back. Thanks again.

In several servers. You don't need a plugin for that.

You may use: header RULE_NAME ALL =~ /\nTo: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).+\nSubject:\s*Fw: .{0,30}\s*\1\b/i That covers "Fw: userid" and "Fw: (some word[s]) userid". True, but that's using () and \1, which is exactly what Jonathan said he did not want to use. So you can do it that way, but you'll suffer the performance penalty of a multi-line regex with backreferences. The only *efficient* way to do it is to write a plugin.
