Matching of rules

A rule will match if any of its components match. A match is defined as the text in the rule box appearing in the text for that field of the message. e.g.

 

A from rule containing 'ad.com' will match a from line containing 'fred@sad.com' or 'bob@addanad.com'.

A To rule containing 'bob' will match a to line containing 'bob@domain1.com' or 'bob@domain2.com'
