[Rspamd-Users] Regex – how to do it right?

[Tino Hendricks]

Dear list,

being new to rspamd I too often struggle with the (too?) extensive manuals.

I want to filter out the annoying parcel delivery spams coming from hotmail that obviously don’t get learned by Bayes.
It’s a multiline HTML that I consider the sufficient characteristic. (For testing purpose I started with a one line snippet.)

From the manuals I think there are 3 ways to go:
1. Mulitmap:
 https://rspamd.com/doc/modules/multimap.html#regexp-maps
2. Rules (Regex)
 https://rspamd.com/doc/tutorials/writing_rules.html#regexp-rules
3. Rules (Lua)
 https://rspamd.com/doc/tutorials/writing_rules.html#lua-rules


I tried #2 by putting 

config['regexp‘][PAKETE_TEST'] = '/ *<p>Kunden.*<\/p>/'

into /etc/rspamd/local.d/rspamd.local.lua to no avail

Next I tried #3 with 

config['regexp']['PAKETE_TEST'] = {
    re = '/ *<p>Kunden.*<\/p>/',
    score = 10.0,
    condition = function(task) -- run this rule only if some condition is satisfied
        return true
    end,
}

into /etc/rspamd/local.d/pakete_rules.lua to no avail

#1 works but this seems to be the least comfortable way if it comes to many and maybe complex Regexes.

How do you do it?

Thanks,

Tino
