#   0      Silent, show nothing at all

#   2      Only show "Deleted..." messages and errors
#   3      Default; Show "Deleted..." messages,  errors

#   4      Like (3), except this also shows the current

#   5      Like (4), except this also shows which filter
#          matched which string of an e-mail header
#   6      Debugging mode; prints almost everything

# Sets the type of Regular Expression used { extended | basic }
#
# (The default is 'basic', don't change unless you know what you

# extended Regular Expressions work for this sample set-up.

# This one filters mail from a certain person.

# extended Regular Expressions.)

# This one filters mail from everyone at a certain organisation:
DENY = "^From:.*@any_provider_that_spams\.org"

# We don't want any of those 'LEGAL' messages either
# while stuff with 'legal' in the subject still interests us:
DENY_CASE = "^Subject:.*LEGAL"

# This one demonstrates the use of 'Negative Filters' and the 
# logical OR '|' in Regular Expressions. 
# (Again, the example works only with extended Regular Expressions.) 
# Kill everything not directly addressed to own account: 
DENY<>"(^To|^Cc):(.*username@server\.com|.*anotherusername@secondserver\.com)"

# -----------------------------------------------------------  
# Normalises the subject strings before parsing, e.g.
# ',L.E-G,A.L; ,C.A-B`L`E, +.B-O`X` ;D`E`S,C;R,A.MB;L,E.R-]'
# becomes 'LEGAL CABLE BOX DESCRAMBLER' which can be filtered.
# 
# If NORMAL is switched on, Mailfilter tries to apply filters
# to both the normalised and the original subject.

# should not exceed. Set this to 0 if all your friends (ALLOW)
# can send messages as long as they want.

# ----------------------------------------------------------
# Set list of friends that always pass, if they do not
# exceed the message length of MAXSIZE_ALLOW

# This rule allows all mail from a friend who was unlucky enough
# to have signed up with a spam organisation. With DENY we
# block everyone else from that domain though! See above!
