rule edit

[Robert Swan <rs...@nskinc.com>]

I am having trouble with a custom rule and wondered if anyone know why
this didn't work. I have pasted an error from sa-learn and also the rule
below. I am running Redhat 9 and Spamassassin 3.0.3

 

 

invalid regexp for rule VIRUS_SOBER5: /*** Attachment-Scanner: Status
OK/i

 

 

body VIRUS_SOBER5               /*** Attachment-Scanner: Status OK/i

describe VIRUS_SOBER5           Body contains the string "***
Attachment-Scanner: Status OK"

score VIRUS_SOBER5              5

 

 

 

 

thanks in advance for not making fun of my inexperience,

 

Robert

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peace he would say instead of goodbye....peace my brother.

I assume, you want to detect the *** showing up in a mail.

try this:
body VIRUS_SOBER5               /\*\*\* Attachment-Scanner: Status OK/i

IMHO, you need to read more about regular expressions in perl, the character * 
has a special meaning, so you need to escape it if you want it to be matched 
by a regular expression.

You need to escape the asterisks, i.e.:

body VIRUS_SOBER5               /\*\*\* Attachment-Scanner: Status OK/i
