The COND component means, "If this condition is false, skip this rule." So basically your rule says, "If $region is not equal to -----------------, require it to be non-empty." You want the NE criterion: CRIT: NE ARGS: ----------------- FFLD: region *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.
