quit negative why?

*** Quits: shaquele_oneaLvJ (.) 
 

Code: Select all

spamfilter { 
        regex "\."; 
        target quit; 
        reason "exit."; 
        action gline; 
}; 

negative why?

Are you sure you wanted to block ALL quits with . anywhere in them?

Try ^\.$

* Ur^^marllboro has quit IRC (.)

Yes, the first example was sufficient. My comment didn't refer to matching the message you gave us, but to your pattern's extraordinary potential for false positives.

It would match:
.
Hello.
Welcome. This is not my quit message.
I eat moss. Do you?



Try this regular expression (for your config, not the command):

Code: Select all

^\\.$

Or this command (as an IRCop with the GLINE privilege):

Code: Select all

/spamfilter + q gline 7d You_irritate_me. ^\.$

Also: A spamfilter in your configuration file will not match anything on other servers on your network. The command will.
