Dear all, I'm trying to implement Mailman topics through regular expressions. However I'm not sure, what expression types are supported. I was trying
- ^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) -> * ^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) - to catch subject lines like "OK -> CRIT some text" and "UP -> DOWN some text" ecc. The regexpes above don't catch these mail, even though they should be perfectly ok according to several regular expression testers. Interestingly
- ^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) /does/ match, but I require the trailing " ->" to discern from other, very similar subjects. I'm not sure what the asterisks are, maybe bullets?
Yep. The asterisks are the bullets of a bulleted list and /not/ part of the regexp. Sorry, if my formatting was unclear in that respect.
The regexp '^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) ->' should match, e.g. Subject: OK -> anything
That's exactly what I want to achieve. But this doesn't seem to work, as these mails are /not/ added to the respective topic.
I also didn't find any reference documentation regarding the supported regular expression syntax. Is there any? https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/re.html
That's what I thought, but then why does '^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN) ->' not lead to an email with the respective topic but '^(OK|WARN|CRIT|UP|DOWN)' does?
Out Mailman version is 2.1.9 Really? 2.1.9 is over 15 years old and 30 releases behind.
Don't tell me :-). But we can't influence that. We are just consumers of this service
