[SOLVED] Match field syntax to block subject

[ljety]

I have created a new "what object" for blocked subject list. Inside I made a list with match fields for different subjects. Its look like:

Field: Subject
Value: XXX YYY (subject text)

I put also a new rule under mail filter which should block incoming mails with "blocked subjects". Unfortunately mail filter doesn't block e-mails with blocked subject.

What is the right syntax for match fields? How can I use "wildcards" in "value" field to ignore some parts of subject?

Hi,

What is the right syntax for match fields? How can I use "wildcards" in "value" field to ignore some parts of subject?

The match field works with regular expressions, see https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmg_mailfilter_regex for some introduction to them.

Normally, a wildcard is expressed as .* in regular expressions. I.e., a dot to match any character, and the * repetition to match any repetition from zero (none) to infinity (until something else follows the regex)

For example, to match any subject containing the word "free", then an arbitrary or no string, then "money" you would use:
free.*money

This would match then "free money", "freemoney", "get free, and best, money".

Hope that helps.

Thank you Lamprecht, its work! How to use /i for "case insensitivity". I tried with:

free.*money/i for "FrEE MONEY" but without success.

The regex you enter here will always be put in /$regex/ context, so passing "global" flags in there isn't possible.

But, for that you could put (?i) at the start of the regex, it is the inline variant of the /i "global" modifier.
