Hi all.

I have a small problem with active spam killer that I hope someone can
clear up for me. I want to automatically ignore all messages with a
subject line of:

***SPAM***

at the beginning of the subject. To this end, I've placed the
following line in my $HOME/.ask/ignorelist-local.txt:

subject ^\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\*

, but I'm still seeing messages with 

***SPAM***

as the very first thing in the subject line showing up in my quarantine
queue. I've escaped the asterisks, since I wasn't sure if they were
used in regexps, and the ask documentation says that it's safe to do
so if you don't know that a particular character is or isn't used in a
regular expression.

Did I mess something up here, or is the line written the way that it's
supposed to be? If it is written the way it should appear, then does
anyone know why it's not working? The ask documentation does state
that ask can process subject lines as well as from and to lines. The
ask version I'm using is 2.4.11.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Greg
