Hi,

I'm getting deluged with "F*ckbuddy" messages in Graymail that I would rather not see.

I tried adding a couple lines in procmail, but I think that runs after the Graymail portion so that didn't work.

I tried adding "F\*ckbuddy" to "Blacklist Subject" in the Member Tools but that didn't seem to work. I almost tried "F*ckbuddy" but was afraid that might trash anything with an "F" in the subject line.

Is there a relatively easy way to rathole all messages with "F*ckbuddy" in the subject line?

Thanks!

I was able to blacklist that word in Member Tools by just adding it as-is (no \*) necessary as that's a string match, not regex. It matched the word in the middle of a phrase in the subject and went to Graymail pre-SpamAssassin processing.

I also have some procmail rules that work well with these types of messages. If you're interested I'll PM you a link.
