Hi,  we've been running SF v424.834 for sometime and its been very good. Recently we have been hit with some spam that requires key words to sort them but every time I look at regex, I just can't get my head around it.

I'd like to block an email address used in the text of the spam for example :

info@we-spam.com

Now clearly I could use the "we-spam" text but how do I put this literally into the keyword area, the dash of course has an effect in specifying a range.

Is the correct method to use say we\-spam to remove the metacharacter function of the dash?  Should I be using square brackets as well [we\-spam]  ??

How can I use absolute literal text no matter the character?

Hope this is not too dumb a question. Thanks.

Hmmm...

I don't even think you need the \- part.  I think you are safe to use (we-spam) because the - is not defined as part of a character set [].

I could be wrong of course as I am no regex expert but the test I just did says you don't need it (but did not seem to hurt putting it in either).

As roberto said, you don't really need regex for that example though.
