- I am trying to filter my incoming mail but filter keeps giving me the
- error SAVE FAILED on rule #x
-
- I am trying to take mail with subject: DS9/info/xxxx
-
- where xxxx is random info and save it to a mailbox folder that already exists.
-
-
- following is my file as it is currently set up:
- # ~/.elm/filter-rules
- #
- # Filter rules for the Elm Filter program.
- #
- # rule 1
- if (subject contains "DS9/info") then save "~/Mail/DS9.info"
- #
- # rule 2
- if (subject contains "DS9/request") then save "~/Mail/DS9.request"
- #
- # rule 3
- if (subject contains "DS9/query") then save "~/Mail/DS9.request"
- #
- # rule 4
- if (subject contains "DS9") then save "~/Mail/DS9.other"
- #
- # rule 5
- if (subject contains "DEEP SPACE") then save "~/Mail/DS9.other"
- #

- Second qustion.
- Why should my aliases.hash be 26K
- when my alias file itself is only 53 bytes?
-
- Also, replies should be sent to me not the news group because our site is
- not currently receiving all news.
