This is more or less related to the subject: Re: Can't get action | to
work.
The action pipe I'm using is: /bin/echo -e $CURTIME : foreign charset :
$MATCH >> /home/fleet/updates/spam.log
MATCH in this case contains "[asterisk] Some Stupid Title [asterisk]".
Asterisk is, of course, the asterisk symbol.
What wound up in the spam.log (output of the pipe) was the date, the
recipe description; then for the subject, a complete directory of my
incoming mail directory - Some Stupid Title - and another complete listing
of my incoming mail directory.
Apparently the asterisk, in this case, was interpreted as a request for a
directory listing. Is there something I can do to MATCH (or anything
else) to prevent this from happening? It doesn't do any harm, of course,
but it's annoying and it raises little red flags. Could a Subject contain
"things" that COULD cause harm when "echoed" in this manner? Could a
subject like "Change your form * It's easy" be interpreted as 'rm *'?
