Scott told Priscila,
Because ']' is a special character to procmail, you'll need to escape
it somehow. These will both work:
* ^Subject:.*re: (])$
* ^Subject:.*re: \]$
No, that's not it. The right bracket is special only if there's been a
left bracket to start a character class description (and not always
then). There's something else going on. (If that were the problem, I'm
not so sure that parentheses would have helped anyway, though a
backslash certainly would.)
Priscila, my guesses are
1. The invisible text between "re:" and the right bracket isn't exactly
one space; it might be multiple spaces or a tab.
2. The condition was right-anchored; maybe there's more whitespace after
the right bracket.
So I'd suggest
:0:
* ^Subject:.*re:[ ]+]
re-right-bracket
(I agree with the other poster's advice not to send them to /dev/null
until everything's debugged.)
Between the left bracket and the first right bracket (which *is*
special) are a space and a tab. If escaping the literal right bracket
makes you more comfortable, it doesn't hurt:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*re:[ ]+\]
re-right-bracket
but it isn't necessary.
