From matches

This list allows the configuration of sender matching expressions. When an expression matches it will perform the action specified for the expression. The expression type shows the type of expression the expression matching engine will use for the entered expression. The matches are performed against the MIME From field email address and the displayed from name. The matches are by default case-insensitive full string matches, NOT substring matches. Use sub(expression) to perform a substring match.

Expression types:

sub

Case insensitive substring

Specify as

simply "match" or "sub(match)"

Example

sub(mail) matches the phrase "Hexamail produces server software"

SUB

Case sensitive substring

Specify as

"SUB(match)"

Example

SUB(mail) does not match the phrase "HexaMail produces server software"

cmp

Case insensitive exact match

Specify as

"cmp(match)"

Example

cmp(mail) matches ONLY the entire exact string "mAil"

CMP

Case sensitive exact match

Specify as

"CMP(match)"

Example
