Define rules body searches on /beta/

robmueller · 14th October 2005, 01:06 PM

And another one to trial on the beta server! I've just added body searches to the Define Rules screen for each rule type. You can use the usual single text, text with wildcards, or regexp matching. Eg.

blah - match any email with the text "blah" in the body
blah*blah - match any email with the text "blah" twice in the body
/(blah){2}/ - match any email with the text "blahblah" in the body

Currently it uses "content" matching, if you want to do "raw" matching, you'll have to use an advanced rule.

I think my first test word is going to be "hoodia."

Yup, I tried a simple text match and regular expression match, and it WFM!

Thanks, Rob!

Do you know what it implements regarding :text (section 4.3 of the draft)

JRobert · 17th October 2005, 12:06 AM

I made only the most basic of string and regex matches to a plain-text body.

Simple text matches are working (that's all I have checked). I'm already using this to catch some spam that craftily makes it past all of my spam filtering.

Works great! I just added a Rule to search the body of the message for certain words. I then sent myself an e-mail with the body of the message containing the name of a certain drug popular in spam messages, and the message went to my junk folder, as desired! Thank you SOOOO much for this!
