Hi,

Trying to stop spam that has a distinctive pattern in the sbuject:

Subject: Fw: 4255345

I have the following regex I put in keyword black list and it passes the regex tester in SF, but its still not catching the spam and the the spam email is not whitelisted, just goes on through. Any ideas why?

((?i)Subject:.Fw:.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])

Thanks!
Andy

You may have better luck with:

((?i)Subject:.*Fw:.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])
