Mail Sorting/Splittien

Mail Sorting/Splittien

[Slackrat]

I would like to know what I'm doing wrongly here.

Note that the offending message is sorted into both _spam.spam_ and
_spam.TFN-Forwarded_ 

This I do not want

Below are the relevant sections of my _.gnus_ file and the _headers_ from
the message. NOTE - ampersand replaced by __AT__ for posting to the List only.

I do have various categories of Spam/UCE, but as far as I can see, that
should not affect the split/sort.

As an aside, I use no filtering on inbound, or for that matter outbound
emails. In other words, I want every message that comes in and otherwise
is permitted by my _aliases_ file. But I don't want them twice.

Some IP ranges are blocked on my firewall, but that is not an issue
here.

This regexp is equivalent to "^Subject:".  If you want to match the
literal string "[SPAM]" in a regexp you need to quote it as
"\\[SPAM\\]".  Also, remove the trailing "*".

          ("spam.spam"           "^Subject:.*\\[SPAM\\]")
