I'm new to maildrop...go easy.

I'm just trying to grab the To, From and Subject headers from incoming email that has the string /Spam:/ in it.

When I find a match, I want to do the following:

1. Remove the leading 'Spam:' from the subject line and rewrite the subject with the original text. 2. invoke a perl script that takes as input the From To and Subject like this : perl recordspam.pl $SENDER $RCPT "$NEWSUBJ" this script takes the input and outputs an MD5 hex hash which I then record in the mail as a header value (X-SPAMID)

Here are my problems:

-Any subject with a /'/ fails on it's way through filter -For some reason, I can't catch the To and From addresses, every time I write them to STDOUT or the maildrop-log file, I get empty values. MY suspicion is that it has something to do with my assigment, but I can't figure it out.

Here's my filter, the log entries are for diagnosis:

<code>

logfile "maildrop-log"

if (/^To:*!.*/:h) { SENDER=$MATCH2 log "$SENDER" } if (/^From:*!.*/:h) { RCPT=$MATCH2 log "$RCPT" }

if (/^Subject:.*Spam:!.*!\)$/) { NEWSUBJ=$MATCH2 log "$SENDER - $RCPT - $NEWSUBJ\n" SENDERESC=escape($SENDER) RCPTESC=escape($RCPT) NEWSUBJESC=escape($NEWSUBJ) xfilter "reformail -i'Subject:$NEWSUBJESC'" SPAMID=`/usr/local/bin/perl ./recordspam.pl $SENDERESC $RCPTESC "$NEWSUBJESC"` xfilter "reformail -i'X-SPAMID: $SPAMID'" to "Maildir/.spam"

}

</code>

Any help appreciated.
