subject contains "{" ?

Thanks!

Have you tried:
subject: {\{}

If the { is always the first character in the spam, you could try:
subject: {^\{}

As always, try these as global searches first to check for false
positives.

I am trying to kill messages where "{" is the first character of the subject,
AND where "}" is the last character of the subject.

I specifically do not want to kill when the "}" is not last, such as in
"Subject: {ASSD} blah blah"

^\{ works well for filtering on the 1st character, but for the life of me I
can't get $\} to filter on the last character.
I have tried using all sorts of combinations, no luck. My current best guess
string is "subject: {^\{ & $\}}" but it doesn't work: it filters nothing.

Any pointers gratefully appreciated.

Maybe try "subject: {^\{} AND {$\}}" or would that give a syntax
error?

Are you SURE that the } is the last character in the subject? Could it
have a space instead?

I'm not sure why the other filters aren't working, but you might try:
subject: ={\{.*\}}

You want \}$ not $\}

Inside the curly braces marking a regular expression
\} represents the '} character
$ represents the end of the subject

The end of the subject comes immediately *after* the '}'.

You also want the & to be *outside* any { } curly braces marking a regular expression.
That is,
* You need *two* regular expressions
* The boolean expression contains the regular expressions, not the other way around.

And put ( ) parentheses around the entire boolean expression.

Like this:

[best viewed in a fixed-pitch font]

subject: ( {^\{} & {whatever you choose to put here} )

Two regular expressions: ***** *********************************

Boolean operation * * *

Thanks Ralph. I did not understand that the $ should come after the }.
Now my filter "subject: ( {^\{} & {\}$} )" works.
It catches anything just right.

Thank you much once more.

I'm now seeing what may be the same kind of spam. It starts and ends
with curly brackets, and within are hex digits and dashes. I was a
bit more exact in my filter, which still appears to work:
subject: ={\{[a-fA-F0-9\-]*\}}
