I took the email you replied to, which had my given name and email address
in the From: field, and ran that through. Naturally, it succeeded.
Then I edited "dman@" in the From: header to "feldman@" and ran the
message through again. It still succeeded. Then I added the `w'
flag to fgrep in the recipe above. It would then only work with
"dman@", not "feldman@", "goldman@", or "anything-elsedman@".
It would still pass with "string-dman@", i.e., with the hyphen;
or with a dot or other non-alphanumeric. The -x flag is best,
but then you will have to strip out < and > from your formail
results to have a sure match.
Hmm, I added the w flag, and had my wife send me a spam subject email. my
whitelist recipe did not catch her email and it was flagged as spam. remove the
w flag and the whitelist rule matches properly
time for testing, when there's time
