Aha. didn't know matches worked like that.
Taught that "contains" wanted a complete string and "matches"
just part of a string (in my logic).

This also doesn't work as wanted.


if $header_to: contains "ck@???" or
   $header_cc: contains "ck@???"
then
    save $home/.maildir/.ck-sources-ml/
    finish
endif


if $header_to: contains "exim-users@???" or
   $header_cc: contains "exim-users@???"
then
    save $home/.maildir/.exim-users-ml/
    finish

   $header_cc: contains "gnome-list@???"
then
    save $home/.maildir/.gnome-users-ml/
    finish
endif


if $header_From: contains "Cron Daemon <root@localhost>"
then
    save $home/.maildir/.cron-jobs/
    finish
endif
