Well, I see I missed one line:
SMALL = .000001
I haven't a clue what that does, but I'll stick it in there.
Nor do I since you don't mention WHERE it goes, but also because it isn't a
condition line, or referred to within the recipe itself (if it is just one
line, and not some braces and stuff, it isn't part of the recipe).
There's no need to undefine MATCH - for one, if ^To: doesn't match, you're
not going to reach the scored condition which follows it.
There is however a glaring failure - the recipe expects BOTH the To: and
Cc: headers to be present. If the Cc: header isn't present (as in the case
of the spam that got through), then the recipe is going to fail, no matter
how many addresses happened to be in the To: field.
Using VERBOSE logging would have made this pretty clear -- you should get
in the habit of checking recipes in a sandbox, or taking a recipe, putting
it into a sandbox, and throwing a saved message at it so you can
re-evaluate the hows and whys.
Break the recipe down into component parts:
# Number of multiple recepients per email
LIMIT=2
:0:
* ^To:\/.*
* 1^1 MATCH ?? @
{
RECIPS=$=
}
:0
* ^Cc:\/.*
* 1^1 MATCH ?? @
* $ $RECIPS^0
{
RECIPS=$=
}
:0:
* $ -$LIMIT^0
* $ $RECIPS^0
red-spam
