Hiya.
Your use of brackets is a little odd. I don't think you want to be
matching everything those rules will match. Something more along the
lines of:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*\ \ \ \ \ [^\ ]*$
spam
would likely be more appropriate. The regexp is actually just matching
the last five spaces on the line which are followed by non-spaces until
the end of the line. I have rules like this, along with a large pile of
others protecting me from spam downloadable at
http://www.it.ca/software/procmail-spamtrap . With that file on an
INCLUDE line in your procmailrc, you can file spam with:
:0:
* ^X-spamtrap:
spamtrap
Enjoy.

hi all -
i've noticed that a significant amount of spam i receive contain, in the
subject line, after a spam-style subject message ("FREE MONEY"!), a whole
string of black white spaces, often followed by a few letters or sometimes
letters.
so i wrote a little procmail command that i hoped would put into the folder
all mail that, in the subject line, contained over six-ish white spaces (no
personal e-mail i receive ever contains so many), followed by a number(s).
so i wrote the following:
:0:
* ^Subject.*([ ]+[0-9]+)
spam
this didn't work and i then tried variations such as:
:0:
* ^Subject.*([\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ]+[0-9]+)
spam
(very clunky, i know) but all to no avail. reading the literature i found
online hasn't proved helpful, nor the archives to the procmail mailing
lists i found.
does anyone have any suggestions on how to modify this code so as recognize
the whitespace? thanks! :)
