maybe a bug with PostMaster filters in 5.0.12?

[Thomymaster]

Hi


I setup a PostMaster filter to reject emails not from a special group of senders. For this i used the "From" field. As the list of e-mail addresses is very long, i hit the maximum number of characters in the "value" field.

To work around this i used the next line and continued with the "From" field.
Upon saving i noticed that only the last line with the "From" field is saved, the other one is gone.

What can i do now? Is this by design and if so, how can i extend the number of characters i can insert into the "value" field?

Best,
Thomas

You might have several options:

* You could add a second postmaster filter.
* Maybe you can improve the regular expression
* Use http://opar.perl-services.de/dist/JunkFilter-5.0.1 - there you can define unlimited addresses in the sysconfig

Edit: it works as designed that each field can be selected once.

Hi,

the from field is possible once per Filter.
Use regular expressions for simplifying matching criterias.

all filter conditions (and set e-mail headers) are unique per PostMaster Filter. They are stored in key/values pairs. That means the last value of multiple keys (header) wins.

Hi

Ok my main problem is that the input field is too short, is there a way to expand the numbers of characters i can type in?
I have the shortest regex i can use but it is still too large

Split the From regex into multiple shorter ones and use multiple PostMaster filter

[Thomymaster]

But the mail is discarded if the first postmaster filter matches. So it makes no sense to define a second filter, or?

How can your first filter match if you split the reg ex up?
Instead of using for From (a|b)@example.com use a@example.com in the first and b@example.com in the second.

Hi

If i split the PostMaster filter into i.e. two, does the second get processed anyway right after the first one (regardless of the filter matches or not)?
