==== Rules syntax ====
  * Each line is a rule. A rule may contains wild card like those used by the Bourne shell.\\
  * Each rule is prefix with an action, like this: **[//action//] [//space//] [//rule//] [//cr//]**

==== Examples ====
The following will allow all email from yahoo.com to get pass:
   pass *@yahoo.com
Note that the "*" sign is very important here.\\

The following will mark all emails from somedomain.com as Junk:
   junk *@somedomain.com

The following will reject (stop delivery) incoming mails from an email address.
   block someone@somedomain.com

The following will reject (stop delivery) of all email coming from hotmail domain.
   block *@hotmail.*
Note that the * at the end will basically block all hotmail domain including:\\
hotmail.com, hotmail.net or hotmail.cc\\

The following will reject (stop delivery) incoming mails from the domain xyz.com, including its subdomain (like shop.xyz.com, alert.xyz.com):
   block *.xyz.com

The following will allow one person vip@domain.com to pass the rule:
   pass vip@domain.com
   junk *@domain.com
This would basically block all other email from domain.com other than vip@domain.com.\\
However, pay attention that the pass rule must place before the junk (or reject) rule, or else it will not work this way.\\

Action tags available:\\
**pass** Let the email pass. The Junk ranking will set to 0.\\
**reject** (or block) Reject the email, not going into the delivery system.\\
**junk** Deliver the email, with Junk rank set as 5 at least.

Mail rules take priority over junk ranking and spam filtering system. So if an email passed the rules, it will not be scanned and tagged with junk ranking.\\
