Subject: Spam dodged my fancy split!
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 1998 18:59:16 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3vhql0wzi.fsf@dt01q0n13.nycap.rr.com> (raw)


Some spam got past my filter, which was specifically designed to
filter out this kind of spam, and in fact was cribbed from the docs.

Here's the relevant snippet of my .gnus file.

--begin .gnus snippet--
 nnmail-split-fancy
 '(| ("gnus-warning" "duplication of messages" "duplicate")
     (to "jmt+usenet@nycap.rr.com"
	 (| ("subject" "re:.*" "misc")
	    ("references" ".*@.*" "misc")
	    "spam"))
     ("from" mail (| ("subject" "warn.*" "mail.warning")
		     "misc"))
     "misc")
 nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
--end .gnus snippet--

Here's the headers of the evil message.

Since the message was sent to "jmt+usenet@nycap.rr.com", the "Subject"
field doesn't match the regexp, and the "References" field doesn't
exist, I'd expect this to be sent to "spam".  Why wasn't it?

Jack.
