Hi *,

we are trying to dispose of automatic replies like "out of office" etc.

For these ends, we have set

Header to "subject" (w/o quotes) Pattern to ".*out.of.office.*" Action to "Hold for moderation"

This should hold any message that contains 'out of office' (case insensitively) anywhere in the Subject: - also the leading and trailing '.*' is superfluous as the pattern is matched with re.search - BUT this test is applied after member moderation so if the message is from a member and the member's moderation action is Accept either explicitly or via list default, the message will be accepted without applying further tests. You want the member's moderation action to be Defer so that additional checks such as header matching are applied.
