[imapfilter-devel] Filter Issues w/More Than 2 Masks Using 'OR'

[Steven T Zydek]

 Hello,

I'm a very new user to imapfilter, which I think is a fabulous tool btw. I've compiled for both Solaris 8 and Red Hat Linux using gcc. Everything appears to be working fine except one issue I'm having w/filters. To best illustrate the problem, see the following:

my .imapfilterrc contains:

   filter spam or
      mask From microsoft.com
      mask From Microsoft
      mask From ms.net
   action move Junk
## --------------------

yet, when it runs it does the following:

C: 100B SEARCH OR (FROM "microsoft.com") OR (FROM "Microsoft") (FROM "ms.net")
S: 100B OK SEARCH completed.

If you look closely, it appears that the 'OR' was dropped from the '(FROM "ms.net") check. I've tested this against existing IMAP inboxes where I have messages that definitely match the masks set for the third or fourth instances in the filter list, yet don't get processed (i.e., moved) as expected. When I remove all mask lines except for these same two, they get caught and moved perfectly. But as soon as I add a third mask back, it appears to ignore all the masks.

So, both of the masks get processed fine in the the following filter:

## filter out spam mail
filter spam or
      mask From microsoft.com
      mask From ms.net
action move Junk
## -----------------

If I add another mask line to the above filter, even if a message on the server matches, nothing gets processed.

Any ideas??

I'm using version 0.9.6 of imapfilter.

Thanks Much!
