question on procmail filters

2002-02-14 23:44:08

hi,

i've tried every possible way to filter 'earn money' but it doesn't work.
'earn' or 'money' individually filters fine, but when these two words are
joined, the filter NEVER works. is there something built in the
application that purposefully ignores the filtering of these two words
when both are present in the subject line? (that would be *evil*)

this my version of procmail running on linux 2.2:

procmail v3.21 2001/06/29
    Copyright (c) 1990-1999, Stephen R. van den Berg    <srb(_at_)cuci(_dot_)nl>
    Copyright (c) 1997-2001, Philip A. Guenther
<guenther(_at_)sendmail(_dot_)com>

here are a few recipes i've tested that failed:

:0
*
^Subject:.*(\<win\>|\<winning\>|lose|\<earn\>|penis|breast|sex|\<buy\>|free|t
rial|offer|sale|money).*
spam

:0
* ^Subject:.*\<earn\>.*
* ^Subject:.*\<money\>.*
spam


:0
* ^Subject:.*earn.*
* ^Subject:.*money.*
spam

:0
* ^Subject:.*earn.*money.*
spam

:0
* ^Subject:.*(earn|money).*
spam

any input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
