Yes, but... as it turns out it works after all if the consecutive spaces are
anywhere except at the beginning of the subject line.
Somehow it will not match and reject if the subject begins with 8 space.
What is the benefit of using ACL's instead of the system filter? Speed?
Or the way it's rejected "550 ..."?
Thanks for the response.
