I have an email with the following header line:
From: 'Thank you!Kohls' <Kohls-MNc at
FeedbackKohlsOpinionRequestedlxecrftHO.com>
I am trying to match that with:
if address :contains "from" "Thank you!Kohls"
{
addflag "\\Seen";
fileinto "Junk";
stop;
}
However, the matching portion of the from address is only the section between
< and >. Since there are changing sections that are different for each
email, I can't use that. I wanted to match the stuff before <. I have
tried numerous formats for the if statement but none of them have worked. What
is the proper way to make that match work? Thanks,
-- Doug

Thanks,I did what looked like the right thing in a sieve plugin for roundcube: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abhpc7rf9rokmfl/junk_rule_for_sieve.png?dl=0 And this is what that created in the script.? Only one word of difference from yours -- it looks at the entire From header and not an address. # rule:[testing] if header :contains "from" "Testing" { ??????? addflag "\\Seen"; ??????? fileinto "Junk"; ??????? stop; } Hope this helps. Thanks, Shawn
