James provides a number of implemented Matchers for use by James administrators in their configurations. These are primarily matchers that members of the James developer or user communities have found useful in their own configurations. A description of how to configure Matchers and use them in the James SpoolManager can be found here.

Description: The CommandForListserv matcher is used as a simple filter to recognize emails that are list server commands. It will match any email addressed to the list server host, as well as any email that is addressed to a user named <prefix>-on or <prefix>-off on any host. Only those matching recipients will be returned.
Configuration string: An email address of the form <prefix>@<host>, where host is the hostname used for the listserver and prefix is the command prefix.
<mailet match="CommandForListserv=james-on@list.working-dogs.com" class="<any-class>">

Configuration string: An email address.
<mailet match="CommandForListservManager=announce@localhost" class="<any-class>">

<mailet match="CompareNumericHeaderValue= X-MessageIsSpamProbability > 0.9" class="<any-class>">
