Custom Rules

[Diego Pomatta <in...@abelsonsa.com.ar>]

Hey list.

I'm new to custom rules. I've written my first one, and I was wondering 
if one of the list gurus could tell me if it's correct.
Specially the regex part. Not sure since I don't know jack about Perl 
regex. :)

Would the following do the trick, if what I want is for all mail 
containing "greeting ecard" in the subject to add 4 points to the score?

header CONTAINS_ECARD1 Subject =~ /greeting ecard/
score CONTAINS_ECARD1 4
describe CONTAINS_ECARD1 ecard spam type 1

Also, regarding whitelist_from_rcvd, does it work with IP addresses 
also, or only with domains?
Example:
whitelist_from_rcvd cpcecaba@* cponline.org.ar
whitelist_from_rcvd cpcecaba@* xxx.yyy.www.zzz    <---- would this work?


Thanks!
