When I did that test you proposed, Mailscanner couldn't read the<br>
rules file. Then I changed the file name from<br>
"Non.SpamAction.*Rules*" to "Non.SpamAction.*rules" *That helped!<br>
This is properly common knowledge if you read the Mailscanner<br>
book, which i will buy now..;-)<br>

Sounds more like common unix knowledge. Things are case sensetive<br>
untill proven otherwise.<br>
<br>
Hugo.<br>
<br>
No..thats NOT common UNIX knowledge..<br>
I'm fully aware of case sensitivity..<br>
I named the entry in the Mailscanner.conf the EXACT same way as the .rules file. But it does simply not work if you name a something.rules file something.Rules. Try it out!<br>
<br>
That is NOT normal i would say..<br>

MailScanner uses a lot of heuristics to work out what you mean by what you put in the MailScanner.conf file. There is no defined syntax, it's just not that simple.<br>
<br>
If I had made it easy for me, all you guys would have to put explanatory things all over the place so my code could easily see what you meant.<br>
<br>
I made it easy for you, not for me; so the parser is very much heuristics-based, and so does tend to make a few assumptions to start with. And yes, one of those is that rules filenames end in ".rules" usually. It doesn't enforce that everywhere by any means, but it does make that assumption occasionally.<br>
<br>
I'll change the code to allow .Rules as well as .rules to keep you happy, that shouldn't break anything too major.<br>

<br></blockquote><div>Hey, You wrote some fantastic software here, and my users and me are grateful to use it. I worked for many years with Amavisd-new, and I think you are right, Mailscanner is easy and intutitive. I just replied to the statement that I don't know my UNIX. A bit harsh when you, like me, have worked with UNIX professionally for 10 years. </div>
