Spamassassin rules?

Hi,

I'd like a little more information on how to filter spam. Specifically, when I log into Sonic Member Tools and choose "Sonic Members Home -> Email -> Spam Filtering -> Whitelists/Blacklists -> Blacklist Subject", there is a box where one can enter text that the filter will use to mark the message as spam. I'd like to filter on something more general than literal text. Can the Blacklist Subject entry be a Perl regular expression?

I believe that the subject white/black lists are parsed the same way that the Xlist to/from are:

Code: Select all

           Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style patterns, so "[email protected]",
           "*@isp.com", or "*.domain.net" will all work.  Specifically, "*" and "?" are allowed, but all other
           metacharacters are not.  Regular expressions are not used for security reasons.
