Hmm, the N as the third argument should apply the rule only if the Mail From: does NOT match the given text.

Presumably the SMTP envelope MAIL FROM: is being set the same as the "Sender" address?

Check with transaction logging.

edit: try "*your@address*" to account for control chars in the parsed field

Care to share why?

BOFH training?

Thanks for the reply.

I've moved most of my email to a online host as I needed a few features mercury couldn't offer.

What I want to use mercury for is to control a couple of applications on a local PC.
If the email is from the right IP address, email address and has the correct key word, then launch a specific application. etc..

Anyway to make it 1IP Address, 1 email address, but multiple different key words so if subject = A run program A, if subject = B run program B etc.

Thanks

If it passes the above tests, it will be accepted by the SMTP server.

You will then need to add filtering rules to match your keywords and perform the appropriate actions.

Thanks

I've got this working. But I've had to remove :

M, "your@address", B-N, "554 Get lost Noddy!"
as it blocks my address, not matches it.

The address is a gmail.com account and I've checked the logs and it is as entered in transflt.mer

Any ideas?
Thanks ?
