I got a common problem. I'm sure alot of you are aware of different
formats for a persons email address that is basicly the same thing, but
entirely different for the email program. For example.. sending me a
message using "link(_at_)pulsar(_dot_)net" or
"link(_at_)alpha(_dot_)pulsar(_dot_)net" will go to the
exact same machine. The problem though is how do I make a filter that
will account for host names sometimes showing and sometimes not showing.
It happens surprisingly with some of my maillists too.
dagrfall-owner(_at_)dodo(_dot_)crown(_dot_)net or
dagrfall-owner(_at_)crown(_dot_)net
All the wildcard examples I've seen never show wildcards in the middle of
the expression. Its always at the beginning. Is it possible to do
something like this:
^TO:(_dot_)*link(_at_)(_dot_)*pulsar(_dot_)net
so that link(_at_)pulsar(_dot_)net and link(_at_)alpha(_dot_)pulsar(_dot_)net
will be treated the same
way? Or do I need to use different wildcards or something?
One other thing too is I know there is a ^TO macro which covers the To:,
Cc:, and Bcc: fields.. but is there a macro for the entire header? Like
what if I want to filter mail that has a maillist address ANYWHERE in the
header? I have some maillists which sometimes has its address in the
From: field, and sometimes its in the To: field (And yet it gets to me
somehow. heh). Or is that where I need to start using muliple
conditions? If so an example would be great.
Any help would be greatly appericated. Thanks,
