I have a small problem with active spam killer that I hope someone can clear up for me. I want to automatically ignore all messages with a subject line of: ***SPAM*** at the beginning of the subject. To this end, I've placed the following line in my $HOME/.ask/ignorelist-local.txt: subject ^\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\* , but I'm still seeing messages with ***SPAM*** as the very first thing in the subject line showing up in my quarantine queue. I've escaped the asterisks, since I wasn't sure if they were used in regexps, and the ask documentation says that it's safe to do so if you don't know that a particular character is or isn't used in a regular expression. Did I mess something up here, or is the line written the way that it's supposed to be? If it is written the way it should appear, then does anyone know why it's not working? The ask documentation does state that ask can process subject lines as well as from and to lines. The ask version I'm using is 2.4.11. Thanks in advance for any help.
