'or' statements or wild cards in mail filters?

**tch3** · January 18th, 2006, 2:56 PM

I would like to discard emails going to (for example)
johndoe

mydomain.com

Can I consolidate those two addresses in one rule? Either by telling the filter to discard mail where janedoe OR johndoe is in the To field? Or can I put in the filter that I'd like to remove all mail going to *doe

mydomain.com?

I'll take that as a no... for now. :-P

Easy to do:

cPanel/mail/E-mail Filtering -- Add

Filter: To that Contains doe

Destination: discard

Ok duh, that part I should've just known because I've used it before *smacks forehead*, but how about adding multiple (different) arguments to find in one rule?

Filter: To that Matches Regex -- as complicated as you want

Jeez, I am a moron.

yeah... but that regex thing can get mighty confusing and dangerous!

I should for sure suggest that rather than discarding the e-mails from the start, forward them to another email box until your pattern is proven.
