Rules Wizard Wildcards?

[lelandv]

Silly question, but I can't find any user docs for this and it's something we need for the users to be able to do.

Condition: Sender IS *@domain.com (for example)
Action: File to SOME-FOLDER

We've tried all kinds of wildcards and nothing seems to work.

(Actually using *@domain.com caused the inbound mail to be lost totally -- not in the Inbox, not in the folder, not in deleted items... it's somewhere in the ether...)

Thanks,

L.

I thought the wildcard character was %, but haven't tested it.

[lelandv]

Tried it.. doesn't work.

[schmoe90]

Have you tried just domain.com?

[lelandv]

yup

Tried all permutations of the following:

*@domain.com
%@domain.com
domain.com
@domain.com
and even standard regex...
.*@domain.com
[a-zA-Z0-9]+@domain.com

The first one just stops ALL mail from being received at all.. none of the others work at all.

An EXACT match DOES work though. (i.e. thisuser@domain.com )

I'm not in a position to test this using the rules wizard, but sxaa works just fine here:

# sxaa --user one --file Test --sender %@example.com

That files anything sent to to the "Test One" user from *@example.com to the Test folder, creating it if it doesn't already exist.

Try that?

[lelandv]

That works, but is not really practical for an end-user to set up his/her own mail rules...

The wizard is what the end users would be doing and it's rather counter intuitive for a system such as Scalix to need an administrator set up mail handling rules for each user manually using the command line...

[schmoe90]

I'm not saying you can only use the command line, I was suggesting a test / workaround. As I said, I wasn't in a position to look at the rules wizard.

Remember, we're just trying to help.

[lelandv]

yup.. as a test it worked..
