org.apache.james.transport.matchers
Class HasMailAttributeWithValueRegex

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.mailet.GenericMatcher
      org.apache.james.transport.matchers.HasMailAttributeWithValueRegex

All Implemented Interfaces:

Matcher, MatcherConfig

public class HasMailAttributeWithValueRegex
extends GenericMatcher

This Matcher determines if the mail contains the attribute specified in the condition and that attribute matches the supplied regular expression, it returns all recipients if that is the case.

Sample configuration:

 <mailet match="HasMailAttributeWithValueRegex=whatever," class="<any-class>">
 

Note: as it is not possible to put arbitrary objects in the configuration, toString() is called on the attribute value, and that is the value matched against.

Since:

2.2.0
