Rules multiple conditions

[Marc]

I'm trying to archive email FromOrTo a domain so have the rule:



FromOrTo: *@domain.com <mailto:*@domain.com> /path/to/archive



Which works great.



However, I'd like to exclude a particular address (one for now, so hoping
its easy).



FromOrTo: *@domain.com <mailto:*@domain.com> or Not From: user at domain.com
<mailto:user at domain.com>



How could that work? (I assume the 'Not') won't work in the above line.
What is the correct rule?


Thanks,





Marc

Point the setting to a ruleset file and put it in two rules.?

FromOrTo: user at domain.com /dev/null
FromOrTo: *@domain.com /path/to/archive

This is an All Match rule, so this may or may not work, but it should be easy enough to test.?

First of all, 'or' is not allowed in "two condition" rules. Only 'and'
is allowed which is what you want anyway.

And yes, 'Not' doesn't work, but you can do this using perl regular
expressions with something like

FromOrTo: /\@domain\.com$/ and From: /^(?!user\@domain\.com$)/

Note that if the second condition is going to be a perl /.../ regexp,
the first must be also. The second condition uses negative lookahead.
(?!xxx) matches if and only if the current position is not followed by
'xxx'. In this case we match the beginning of the string, not followed
by exactly user at domain.com. The $ inside the lookahead matches the end
of string and it must be inside because the lookahead doesn't advance
the string. Also the @ and . are escaped so they don't have special meaning.

Even simpler, you can use perl's '!' not operator as in

FromOrTo: /\@domain\.com$/ and From: !/^user\@domain\.com$/

Here again, for this to work, the first condition must also be a perl
regexp.

Ooops. It appears that doesn't work. I thought I'd tested it, but I'd
forgotten to reload MailScanner after changing my test rule.

The negative lookahead rule does work as described in my first reply.
