Since I tend to work more in the mc file than the cf file, I had
forgotten something about this method that doesn't work.  Here's what
you need to use instead:


# Reject all mail with Sobig subjects.
HSubject:               $>Check_subject
D{Msobig1}That
D{Msobig2}Wicked
D{Msobig3}Your
D{Msobig4}Approved
D{Msobig5}My
D{Msobig6}Details
D{Msobig7}Thank


SCheck_subject
R${Msobig1} $*          $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}
RRE: ${Msobig1} $*      $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}
R${Msobig2} $*          $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}
RRE: ${Msobig2} $*      $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}
R${Msobig3} $*          $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}
RRE: ${Msobig3} $*      $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}
R${Msobig4} $*          $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}
RRE: ${Msobig4} $*      $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}

RRE: ${Msobig6} $*      $#error $: 550 ${Mmsg}

Basically, you can't have multiple words in the patterns I'm using, so
it was blocking all messages that started "Re:".  This new mechanism
blocks only those words I listed above, with or without a leading "Re:
".  That's going to be rather broad, you think about whether or not you
really want to do that.  But it does seem to work.
