    Posted: 03 November 2004 at 2:05pm

If I have a keyword in my list like:

viagra

do I also need to have a line like:

Subject:viagra

So both are checked? It seems by only having the key word that emails with "viagra" only in the Subject line are getting through or is this my imagination.

If it's not needed what is the "Subject:" used for in keyword list?

Bob,

Keywords that begin with "Subject:" will only trigger a match if the string is found in the email's subject line.

All other keywords will be matched against the message body and "Received" headers, *not* the subject line.

Thanks but let me clarify 100%

If I want to filter the word "viagra" from ANYWHERE in an email I'll need to add 2 lines:

viagra
Subject:viagra

Is this correct?

Correct, both lines are needed.
