Custom rule
Hi,
I'm no expert in creating rules - so hopefully someone can help me with
this simple one:
I want to assign a negative score for all mails, that has the text
JGH Ref.: xxxxxxx

That should work fine.. If you want to be more specific you can replace the \w
with \d, which will only match numbers, but that's probably not necessary.

The xxxxx is numbers - right now, there are 6 digits, but I assume the
length could be 5-8 digits..

body LOCAL_JGH /\bJGH Ref\.: xxxxxxx\b/
describe LOCAL_JGH Has special reference code
score LOCAL_JGH -1.0
However, I assume you'll need something other than xxxxxxx in there.. Is it
numbers? Alphanumeric? Is it always the same length?
Here's a variant assuming it's always a 7-digit number:
body LOCAL_JGH /\bJGH Ref\.: \d{7}\b/
Here's one assuming a 5-8 digit alphanumeric (underscores allowed too, but no
other punctuation)
body LOCAL_JGH /\bJGH Ref\.: \w{5,8}\b/
