Hi
Shawn, 

I believe this has been discussed before.
http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2003-December/024227.html


Jules rightly says the email client adds the RE tag to the subject so
I can't see a way around this behaviour. Now I have this set in a
ruleset I can't see how mailscanner could search for the domain in the
rules file, then search every email for that domains subject header for
the tag I set inside the rules file. I personally think it would cause a
lot of extra load, unless someone could figure out a better way? I
can't. 

I have this - 

Scanned Modify Subject =
%rules-dir%/modify.scanned.subject.rules 

 To: default no 

 To:
richsphere.co.uk yes 

And then this - 

Scanned Subject Text =
%rules-dir%/scanned.subject.text.rules 

 To: default {Scanned} # This
would never be used unless the modify.scanned.subject.rules 'default'
line is set to 'yes' 

 To: richsphere.co.uk [EXTERNAL EMAIL] 

If you
keep going it just builds up the subject line as so - 

Subject:
[EXTERNAL EMAIL : ] Re: [EXTERNAL EMAIL : ] Re: [EXTERNAL EMAIL : ] Re:
Test 

Thanks, 

Rich
