Rules problem with two "From:" statements

[Mike]

Hi,

I seem to have stumbled onto a rules bug/problem, unless I'm doing
something wrong.

I noticed that my rules aren't firing properly. For example, I would
like the following (since I use MailWatch) in a ruleset (for instance
"Spam Checks"):

From:	127.0.0.1	and	From: postmaster@<domain>	no

In English: if the message is sent from the localhost AND has a sender
of postmaster@<domain>, skip the Spam Checks (and Filename/type checks
in other rulesets, etc.). The reason for this double check is that a
check on "From: postmaster@<domain>" only is not strict enough, since it
can be sent from any host. The "From: 127.0.0.1" localhost check only
would bypass Spam Checks for ALL senders from the localhost.

The rule above does not work at all. However, if I change it to:

From:	127.0.0.1	and	To: support@<domain>	no

the rule DOES work. This seems to imply that a rule with "and" cannot
have two "From:" statements (possibly the same holds for two "To:"
statements, I haven't checked this).

I've also tried to change the two "From:" statements to "FromOrTo:", but
then MailScanner syslogs the following message (which makes sense):
==========
Config Error: Cannot match against destination IP address when resolving
configuration option "spamchecks"
==========

Julian, can you confirm this behaviour and is it by design (i.e. "a
feature and not a bug" to speak with the words of one L. Torvalds...)?
Is what I want obscure or is it something others want as well (not sure
if this can easily be changed in the code).

Regards and thanks in advance,
Mike Klinkert
