Spam filter exception (again)

Post by xnigelx »

Hey im new here.
I was working on my spam filter and i have quite a few filters, occasionaly a member gets caught in one and we have a eggdrop that detects a member and unglines it. im trying to add a exception mask in the filter and i didnt see much on here on how to make one. so my questions are:
1. does it matter where in the spamfilter file u you put the exception (first line or last line).
2. is this the correct syntax "except tkl { mask *@*.evo.com; type gline; };" (our members have a .evo.com vhost and the spamfilter does the gline process)
3. can someone who corrects my exception please explain what the line means and such so i can learn.
thank you in advance

Firstly the exception can go anywhere in any of the .conf's as long as they're included by unrealircd.conf at some point or another.

Secondly an "except tkl" exempts a person from any attempt to ban them from the server whether set by a spamfilter or set by an oper so be weary of that.

As for exempting someone from being caught by a spamfilter the only way i know of doing that is that an oper is exempt.
