[ossec-list] Example of bad matches...



I frequently get these types of alert notifications from OSSEC-HIDS.

----- Forwarded message from OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -----

OSSEC HIDS Notification.
2006 Jun 11 14:29:53

Received From: satyr->/var/log/maillog
Rule: 102 fired (level 7) -> "Unknown problem somewhere in the system.'"
Portion of the log(s):

spamd[1433]: checking message <1DEBAD4B.77C5EC8@xxxxxxxxxxx> for nobody:99. 

----- End forwarded message -----

The problem is that the string "BAD" is found in the above.

Maybe if we say that the match must be surrounded by whitespace then
the above kind of misfire can be minimized?
