UBE filters not working

I'm running Netscape Messaging Server v4.15 and am having problems getting the UBE filters to work.

Here is an example:

Channel-To "testuser@mydomain\.com" COPY "deadmail@mydomain.com"

I've also tried this:

:"testsubject" Subject "testmsg" COPY "deadmail@mydomain.com"

(the real domain name has been replaced by "mydomain.com"...)

Both of these examples didn't work. In the GUI, it shows the plugin installed and active. And if I look at the .cfg or .opt file it shows when changes are made. The server is running on a UNIX based system btw.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or is there something I'm missing here?

Any help would be great, thanks!

Your Subject has to match exactly and this is the problem...
I believe you need to add <> to the statment. You can check this by adding wildcards to verify if that doesn't work.
example:

:&quot;Norton update&quot; To &quot;<Norton update>&quot; REJECT &quot;NO JUNK MAIL ALLOWED AT THIS DOMAIN&quot;

wildcard example:

:&quot;Norton update&quot; To &quot;.*Norton update.*&quot; REJECT &quot;NO JUNK MAIL ALLOWED AT THIS DOMAIN&quot;

This will match &quot;You need Norton update now&quot; or &quot;Norton update is on sale now&quot; but will not match &quot;Norton&quot; or &quot;update&quot; alone.

I've tried using wild cards, and just the normal expression, but nothing seems to work. For example, the subject line test that I had above. When I send an email to a test user with that exact subject line &quot;testmsg&quot; it doesn't copy the correct mail account. (I've also tried just the account name and not @mydomain.com).

I've also tried the following:

To &quot;testuser@mydomain\.com&quot; DROP &quot;deadmail&quot;
To &quot;testuser@mydomain\.com&quot; COPY &quot;deadmail&quot;
To &quot;testuser@mydomain\.com&quot; COPY &quot;deadmail@mydomain.com&quot;
To &quot;testuser@mydomain\.com&quot; COPY &quot;deadmail@mydomain\.com&quot;
:&quot;testsubject&quot; Subject &quot;testmsg&quot; COPY &quot;deadmail@mydomain.com&quot;
:&quot;testsubject1&quot; Subject &quot;testmsg&quot; COPY &quot;deadmail&quot;

Is there anyway I can put the UBE filter into a debug mode so I can see exactly what's happening when it processes the messages?
