I am having some difficulty in setting up a global filter file for
freezing suspected spam; there are two separate problems that I have
encountered so far:
1) I am trying to restrict the checking to mail messages sent from
machines in .com and .net, so I tried the following:
if $sender_host_name: matches "\\.(com|net)\\$"
...
but this never seems to match anything. Have I made some stupid error
here? It doesn't match anything if I remove the \\. or the \\$, either.
If I remove both of those, (com|net) does match plenty of things, but
obviously it catches a lot of inappropriate hostnames as well. Can
someone point out to my addled brain what I'm doing wrong?
2) Even though I have freeze_tell_mailmaster set to true, messages frozen
by the global filter do not trigger any notification. Am I going to have
to make the filter generate the notification itself?
Thanks for any and all advice.
Tim.
