NAME

re.rules - Stores spam rules configuration


SYNOPSIS

/opt/pmx/etc/spam.d/re.rules


DESCRIPTION

The re.rules file stores custom rules. The rule configuration is stored in the re.rules file; to adjust the weight or probability delta for custom rules, use the pmx-spam program. See the pmx-spam manpage for more information.

<rule_name>
The rule name must be unique; it cannot have the same name as a default rule.
Description
Enter a description for the rule.

Part
Enter the component of the message that should be tested. Values include:
Envelope-To
The recipient addresses, as interpreted from the SMTP 'RCPT TO' command; the actual delivery address, as opposed to the message's 'To' header.

Envelope-From
The sender's address, as interpreted from the SMTP 'MAIL FROM' command.

BODY
Consecutive chunks of the message's body content (paragraphs); HTML parts are stripped of markup tags. Useful for matching words obfuscated by HTML tags.

RAWBODY
Consecutive chunks of the message's body content (paragraphs); markup tags in HTML parts are left intact. Useful for matching HTML markup characteristics.

URI
URI strings found in the body of the message.

EOB
The entire message body; HTML parts are stripped of markup tags. EOB is resource-intensive, as the entire message must be loaded at once. Use 'BODY' if possible.

RAWEOB
The entire message body; markup tags in HTML parts are left intact. RAWEOB is resource-intensive, as the entire message must be loaded at once. Use 'RAWBODY' if possible.

EOH
All of the message's headers, concatenated into a single string.

Full
The entire message, including headers.

Test
Enter a regular expression to test against the specified part. Enclose the regular expression in frontslashes (for example, /regex/). For information about constructing regular expressions, see the Regular Expression Primer in the Administrator's Reference, or enter man perlretut on the command line.
