Prior to reading this I had sent a valid email what had 4 consecutive
digits at the end of the Subject: so your pattern would have created a
false-positive. So happens that my subject line had alphabetics in there
too (it was a university course code) that might be useable as a
discriminator for identifying real as opposed to mis-identified spam.
Well, that's what the person asked for - 4 digits (excepting that they did
mention spaces before, which I omitted).
If you'd reviewed the code snippet from my own spam.rc, you'd see that I
merely add a "spammishness" value to the message -- after all checks have
been conducted, the total spammishness would be evaluated and the message
handled accordingly. Thus, how _I_ actually filter my mail wouldn't
actually experience a false positive - unless your message had a number of
other characteristics as well.
The original poster did say "spaces followed by four digits" something
that your pattern does not cope with.
.. and which has already been pointed out in another post, and which was
acknowledged by myself some 17 hours before your message, but thanks for
pointing the omission out.
