Thanks for the reply Todd.

I have a feature request.

When tmda finds a matching regex in a filter file rule, it 
prints the filename that includes that matching regexp, to 
the ~/.tmda/logs/incoming log file.

Such as:

Date: Fri Jul 10 21:00:30 BST 2009
From: Marci <[email protected]>
   To: [email protected]
Subj: Royal Bank of Scotland UK Verify Your Internet Banking Identity
Actn: DELIVER (headers-file ~.tmda/filters/subject_reject [email protected])(27916)

As some of my regexp rules are only one or two words, 
there's no way of telling which rule matched the above 
subject line.

This is a bit to vague for me.

I would also like tmda to log the regexp it has found 
from the matching incoming filter file, so I know exactly 
what tmda has found to match against.

So the incoming log file would look something like:

Date: Fri Jul 10 21:00:30 BST 2009
From: Marci <[email protected]>
   To: [email protected]
Subj: Royal Bank of Scotland UK Verify Your Internet Banking Identity
Actn: DELIVER (headers-file ~.tmda/filters/subject_reject [email protected])(27916)
Rule: "Bank of Scotland"

And the matching regexp rule in subject_reject filter would 
be, Rule: "Bank of Scotland"

# unacceptable regex matches for Subject: mail header field
headers-file ~/.tmda/filters/subject_reject [email protected]

This would allow me to fine-tune my filters, and help 
me remove any fasle positives from the filter file.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
