Black list

What is a black list?

It is a list of criteria that make a message deleteable

Description of the file

Each line is described as:

            criteria: value
          

Table 3. Possible criteria in the black list

"order"list of criteria ("sender" | "subject" | "to" | "cc" | "id" | "charset" | "body" | "body-re" | "repeated-link" | "mime-document-name" | "mime-type-size" | "date") separated by ' '
"sender"regular expression: fields "From:", "Reply-To", "Return-Path", "Sender"
"subject"regular expression: field "Subject"
"to"regular expression: field "To"

"charset"regular expression: charset used in subject or body content
"body" *string (in plain text or HTML text) the body of the message
