I would be already glad, if my Exim rules would work.

Today I received again an 1,3 MB message with Lottery spam.
In the body is clearly to be seen "ONLINE LOTTERY DEPARTMENT".

I am unsing this rule:

#!!# ACL that is used after the DATA command
check_message:
    deny senders = /etc/exim4/blockeddoms


    discard message = "Loteria in message body"
        !senders   = :
        condition  = ${if match {${lc:$message_body}} 
{loteria|lottery}{yes}{no}}


What if wrong? Why did I receive this spam?

BR
Paul
