• Wierd Deny List results

    By Curt I Holmer 2 decades ago

    Very strange, I set up a deny list with basically two different variations on the same theme, one with a colon and one with out so:



    To: you

    to you



    the 'To: you' gets proper action taken (Deny&Copy) but the 'to you' gets through. I though that maybe the colon had something to do it so I moved the non colon to its own rule but same results.



    Also is there a limit to the number of entries in a deny list? I have some rather lengthily ones and it seems that things are getting ignored by the filter on some of those.

      Had messages this AM that even though all the actions are set for 'Deny & Copy' were in MailSpam.nsf but were still delivered.

    • ok figured out the list issue

      By Curt I Holmer 2 decades ago

      Ok, I figured out the list issue. I was thinking that you could create rules with multiple items on separate lines. I.E.



      to you

      to: you

      to them

      to: them



      One needs to create a REGEX expression for multiple items otherwise its looking for the whole text field so to make the above list it should be:


      REGEX#:to you|to: you|to them|to: them



      This explains why I didnt think my rules were working at all since of the 8 that I created, they were only looking for the first item in each field.



      As evident by many of the posts here, I think some more complex samples are in order in the documentation. Having a multi-value list like the one stated above is pretty standard affair for domino forms so I suspect that I'm not the first one to have this assumption. This should be stated plainly in the documentation since it took me several reads to come to this realization.



      The regex coach as mentioned in a post earlier ( http://weitz.de/files/regex-coach.exe) is a HUGE help.
