User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910 When using Mozilla 1.3 on Win23, using mail with a Microsoft Exchange IMAP server, mail filtering does not always work as expected. The problem focuses upon the observation that new mails are not filtered upon receipt, when a custom header filter is used. However, if the filters are run manually, then filtering works okay. This proves that the filter do correctly ID the messages, but the filter is not being run at the right time, or not identifying the messages upon initial receipt into the inbox. Furthermore, at least some non-Custom Header filters do work correctly and are filtered immediately upon receipt. The specific Custom Header that I am using is "list-post", which is then matched with an eMail address. The intent of what I am doing is to filter mail based upon Mailman mailing lists. The list-post header seems to be the best place to do this, but there might be better. None the less, the bug exists. I also tested by using a specify string in the subject line and to do the same action. This rule, based upon a string in the subject of the message, was run correctly. Here is an excerpt from my message filter rule file, modified to protect identity/me from getting fired; -- name="list hostmaster@foobar.com" enabled="yes" type="1" action="Move to folder" actionValue="imap://Jesse.Molina@mailserver.foobar.com/INBOX/My_lists/hostmaster@foobar.com" condition="OR (\"List-Post\",is,hostmaster@foobar.com)" -- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new filter with a custom header to move a message into a folder other than Inbox. 2. Receive a message which matches the filter. 3. The message will not have action taken against it by the filter, even though it should have been. 4. Run mail filters manually, and the action will correctly be taken against the message. Actual Results: The message was filtered correctly, and the filters must be manually run against the Inbox. Expected Results: The message should have been filtered immediately upon receipt. Mail server is Microsoft Exchange 2003, using IMAP access.
