FriendlyGreeting is Expanding

[Remco Barendse]

I works perfectly now, all those buggers get rejected :)

What doesn't work however are the * expressions. I added fu*k like in the
example but if i send a message with fuck in the header it doesn't get
rejected?

Furthermore I want to kill off any message with quote :
Delivery Status Notification (Success)
unquote as a subject. I don't want to block the failed ones, just the success
version. I tried several versions for a line but it never gets blocked.

How do I make sendmail recognize the () ??
i tried
delivery.status.notification.*success
delivery.status.notification.(success)
delivery.status.notification.\(success\)

Even better, could I make another ruleset but copying the first one to
create a second rule so I can reject some messages and discard others?
Would this be the correct addition to sendmail.mc correct in that case
(sendmail has never been a friend of mine)??

LOCAL_RULESETS
F{JunkSubs} /etc/mail/junksubs.txt
F{SSJunk} /etc/mail/ssjunk.txt
F{DiscardSubs} /etc/mail/discardsubs.txt

HSubject: $>Check_Subject

SCheck_Subject
R$={JunkSubs}$* $: NMJUNKSUB
R$* $={SSJunk} $*       $#error $: NMJUNKSUB
R$* NMJUNKSUB $*        $#error $: "553 Rejected"
R$* $={DiscardSubs} $*       $#discard


Thanks!!
