spam rule with * character

[goessel]

Hello,

anyody knows how to use * as a string in a rule field ?

As default, * will be interpreted as a wildcard and means "all characters in this field"

in our environment there is an X-Field which declare spam-level as different quantity of *

like:

X-spam-level: **

X-spam-level: *****

Regards,

joerg

While there are likely more elegant ways: question marks should do it, you'd need a separate rule for each number of star, of course. And you'd need to use "match" as opposed to "contain".

that doesn't work, because external spam-engine produce another content of this field too, like:

X-spam-level: ------------

X-spam-level: /

So, I have to detect even a single * character too.

X-spam-level: *
