Hello Derek. Check out http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules for writing custom rules. I learnt how to do it from that page, and then by looking at how everyone else makes rules (check out the ones that already come with Spamassassin - and go about understanding them) If you're on a linux box with the Perl manuals installed, you can get an idea about regular expressions from "man perlre". Takes a little while for regular expressions to sink in, but you've got to start somewhere. It may also help to understand Perl itself a little better... I bought a book to do that :) HTH, Cheers, Michael Hutchinson Manux Solutions Limited.
