thank you for the advice. I'll change it.

Well I changed the line to ????????? if header :contains "X-Spam-Status: YES" { Then I got: # sievec spam_to_junk.sieve spam_to_junk: line 3: error: the header test requires 2 positional argument(s), but 1 is/are specified. spam_to_junk: error: validation failed. sievec(root): Fatal: failed to compile sieve script 'spam_to_junk.sieve' Should it be: ????????? if header :contains "X-Spam-Status" "X-Spam-Status: YES" { ??? I need to learn some sieve grammar.

This is what I use.? Notice the comma: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Status" "Yes," { ? fileinto "SystemFolders.SuspectedSpam"; ? stop; } Bill On 12/14/2017 1:02 PM, Richard wrote:> >> Date: Thursday, December 14, 2017 09:47:44 -0800 >> From: Gao <gao at pztop.com> >> >> I use a sieve filter to move spam email to user's Junk folder: >> # cat spam_to_junk.sieve >> require "fileinto"; >> ? if exists "X-Spam-Status" { >> ????????? if header :contains "X-Spam-Status" "YES" { >> ????????? fileinto "Junk"; >> ????????? stop; >> ????????? } else { >> ????? } >> ? } >> ? if header :contains "subject" ["SPAM?"] { >> ??? fileinto "Junk"; >> ??? stop; >> ? } >> >> Most time this filter works fine but occasionally it move non-spam >> in to Junk folder.

Also, I wouldn't use the second rule: ? ? if header :contains "subject" ["SPAM?"] { ? ??? fileinto "Junk"; ? ??? stop; ? ? } If someone sends you an email with the subject "Can you help me with this spam?" it will get filed into Junk. Bill
