Creating rule with .and. operator...

[Rejaine Monteiro <re...@bhz.jamef.com.br>]

Hi,

How can I create a rule to match  no-spam e-mail  with  have (both) 
words "hello"  and "testing"   (body or hearder)

I tried to use:

/hello&testing/i

/hello&&testing/i

/hello && testing/i

but not working...


I need to match messages  with have hello and testing in any position, 
like:

"hello list,
I'm  testing  this e-mail!!!"

or .. "Hi and hello... testing .. and works.. "

These are regular expressions, not some kind of boolean thing.


First, read "perldoc perlre".

Second, use multiple rules and combine them with a meta rule.  See "perldoc
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" for more information.

Third, it's generally a bad idea to have rules that look for a single word
(or, if unanchored, substrings).  Let Bayes handle that stuff, unless there's
certain things you're sure won't FP and you want to block.
