I'm trying to use procmail to filter out messages from some Microsoft
Outlook worm, which sends me a dozen or two per day. It's not
working, and I can't see why. The recipe looks like this:
:0 HBD
* X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook *
* Hi! How are you?
* I send you this file in order to have your advice
* See you later. Thanks
/dev/null
Now, the message I'm trying to filter really does have all of those
lines. In fact, here it is (minus the headers):
Content-Disposition: message text
<x-charset ISO-8859-1>Hi! How are you?
I send you this file in order to have your advice
See you later. Thanks
</x-charset>
When I put such a message in a little test.mbox of its own, and test
it with procmail -m, it works fine. But when I actually received it,
it wasn't filtered; my log file contains:
procmail: [21746] Thu Jul 26 07:26:33 2001
procmail: Match on "X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook *"
procmail: Match on "Hi! How are you?"
procmail: Match on "I send you this file in order to have your advice"
procmail: No match on "See you later. Thanks"
Why is this? The string it claims doesn't match is right there in
the message, below the line which it agrees does match. Any clue?
Thanks,
- Joe
