Category: None Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 2 Submitted By: gw- (gw-) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Emails not entered in the filter rules very well Initial Comment: When accepting an email from a non-subscriber (in a closed mailing list) and selecting the option that the sender should be added to the filter list of allowed senders - this is not done very well, because it adds a plain string representation of the email address, not an regular expression (as which everything in that filter-field is interpreted).

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 I can't read the Slovene translation, but it may be an accurate rendition of the English which is a bit ambiguous. It says: "In the text boxes below, add one address per line; start the line with a ^ character to designate a Python regular expression. When entering backslashes, do so as if you were using Python raw strings (i.e. you generally just use a single backslash)." It means "you may start the line ...". The next paragraph says: "Note that non-regexp matches are always done first." which implies you don't need regexps. The 'details' for these say: "Add member addresses one per line; start the line with a ^ character to designate a regular expression match." Perhaps these should say "optionally start the line ..." or something similar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: gw- (gw-) Date: 2006-02-15 07:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1334052 Oh, thanks for the explanation. Than this means that the Slovene translation is invalid. The current: "SporoÄila s katerega od teh naslovov bodo samodejno odobrena, brez dodatne modifikacije. Dodajte naslove Älanov, vsakega v svojo vrstico; ki jo zaÄnete z znakom ^, ki predstavlja regularni izraz za iskanje ujemanj." should be replaced with: "SporoÄila prejeta s katerega od teh naslovov bodo samodejno odobrena, brez dodatne modifikacije. Naslove Älanov dodajte vsakega v svojo vrstico. Äe želite pri tem uporabljati regularne izraze za iskanje ujemanj, morate vrstico zaÄeti z ^." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2006-02-15 07:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 It works as designed and as it should. Entries in *_these_nonmembers are only interpreted as regular expressions if they begin with '^'. Anything else is an exact plain string match (case insensitive). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1432090&group_id=103
