Ha ha on me!

Apparently my message to this list was filtered from some recipients
by their filters for the ILUVEYOU virus. And, of course, it was
filtered from the folks who really know how to get their filters
going and who could possibly help.

This is pretty fun, actually.

So, I'm resending, but I'll mess up the triggering strings:

Exim People,

Thanks for the quick work at making a filter for this.

This is my first time to try a filter and I must be making some kind of
mistake.

I know that the configure part is good because, when I first implemented
it, my log file complained:

2000-05-04 10:42:38 12nPe2-0002UN-00 Error in message_filter file: quote missing at end of string in line 7

So, I added a back-slash on line 7 and it quit complaining.

I tried a test. I just sent myself the following message, which I
would think the filter would catch, but it slipped right through.
Certainly a copy of the filter contains all the text it's looking for.
Or what am I missing?

Thanks for your help.
