spamassassin header rules
 

Hi,
I added some header rules to my spamassassin configuration file, such as the following:

header test1 Subject =~ /viagra/i
score test1 3.0

Then restarted spamassassin.
The next day, I was still receiving emails with subjects containing the work viagra. Do I need to add extra regular expression characters to this?
In order words, will what I specified match a subject of:
"buy viagra at very low rates"

or do I need something like /[^(viagra)]+viagra[.]+/i

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions

Jeff

your test looks fine to me, the onyl problem might be your (low) score of 3.0
if your REALLY want to avoid viagra in the subject i suggest:

header _LOCAL_I_HATE_VIAGRA1 Subject =~ /V.?[i1].?[a\@].?g.?[\@a]?.?r.?[\@a]/i
score _LOCAL_I_HATE_VIAGRA2 25.0

or

header _LOCAL_I_HATE_VIAGRA2 Subject =~ /\bviagra\b/i
score _LOCAL_I_HATE_VIAGRA2 25.0
