Thanks. That should be useful. Do you need to test for 4 numerics as
anything with four digits will also match three digits, or have I
missed something? I must admit that I'd have taken the easy option and
had separate tests for "= * id: " and the same with ref:.
At the moment I tend not to bother with anything that's being picked
up by SpamStamp because it's easier to bounce everything in the Spam
folder than to divert and forward in AntiSpam. When I get fed up with
sending spam to the despamchecker I'll no doubt try to catch
everything with AntiSpam.
One thing AntiSpam doesn't let you do (feature request!) is mark a
message as spam and accept it so that MPro can filter it into the Spam
folder. Using divert and accept requires manual intervention.
