How do you use regex flags in postfix?

  • 772

In Postfix we can apply some basic header, body, client checks using regex. I wanted to use flags.

I added the following to the header_checks file:

/some(\s|_|-)words(\s|_|-)here/gmi REJECT

and tested it by sending myself and email with those words in the title, but I get the error in my maillog stating unknown regexp option "g": skipping this rule

Is there a proper way to apply flags or does postfix regex simply not use or acknowlege certain flags?

    There is no supported flag g, neither in POSIX regexp tables or PCRE tables. Therefore it's impossible to understand what you intended. Is that a typo? Just remove it.
