Hi,

I've finaly got maildrop up and running and it's working great. Only have one problem. I can't seem to get it working with a subject. Here is what I tried and it didn't work

if (/^Subject:.*Nightly Qmail Stats Report*/) to /home/vpopmail/domains/usalug.org/geeshock/Maildir/.reports

What subjects were matched that shouldn't? Not matched that should?

The last character looks like you mixed up regexes and file globs. The asterisk is a modifier for the preceeding character, like Sam already descreibed. In this case, you don't need to write anything; the regex is also a match if it matches only a part of the target. /^Subject:.*Nightly Qmail Stats Report/

To match the whole target, you'd use the end marker, just like you did with the start marker. This wouldn't allow anything after the last t: /^Subject:.*Nightly Qmail Stats Report$/
