Re: [Mailman-Users] spam discard expressions
I'm trying to ask a question about spam filters, using an example of spam I'm getting, but I'm getting this error:
The response was:
554 permanent error Contact your postmaster/admin for assistance. Please provide the following information in your problem report: time (Sep 22 22:16:42) and client (2607:f8b0:400e:c05::231).
Anyway around this? /jim
Maybe this is how to do it:
My spam filter is not working. I have this syntax: ^Subject: .*Example
And mail with this subject is still getting through: Subject: Desperate for a Example
What would be correct way to catch messages with "Example"?
thanks, jim

And where are you putting this?
If you have that in bounce_matching_headers, you don't want the ^. The syntax there is the header followed by a regexp to match. E.g.
subject: .*example
or even (I think)
subject: ^.*example
Both the header and regexp are case insensitive.
If it's in header_filter_rules
^Subject: .*Example
should work (and it too is case insensitive).
And mail with this subject is still getting through: Subject: Desperate for a Example
If the above doesn't explain it, it's possible the header is rfc 2047 encoded as in
Subject: =?utf-8?b?RGVzcGVyYXRlIGZvciBhIEV4YW1wbGUK?=
which decodes to
Subject: Desperate for a Example
but headers should be rfc 2047 decoded for header_filter_rules but not for bounce_matching headers.
Also note that bounce_matching_headers is called "Legacy anti-spam filters" for a reason.

Your email client is not giving you the reject reason which from mail.python.org's log is
