Hello,

we have a case, that one of the clients wants to catch all the messages which subject starts with "Hey" and to quarantine them.

I tryed to implement a content profile and there use a Dictionary profile where i check Regex content, but this didn't work.

 

Any idea / experience?

Hi Muri

Did you try in Antispam profile?

    For regular expressions you may use dictionary in antispam profile.

      Hey @AEK

      thanks for suggestions.

      Basicaly what we want to acchieve is, to create a "safe word" string, which must be included in subject of sent message.

      the idea is, that the specific sender should send a message, that only in Subject must contain specific word/teyt - for example "Subject:Hey-[space]whatever text" - only that will be accepted and received.

       

      Best regards

      Marko

      Hi Muri

      In that case I think the logic is to achieve it with dictionary in antispam profile, and you need a regular expression to match subjects that don't contain "Hey-" to put them in quarantine.
