[MlMt] Alert sending from email address?

[Jim Armitage]

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been trying different things for weeks to get this to work with 
no luck. I’ve created a file called messageVerifications.plist in the 
folder /Users/jimarmitage/Library/Application 
Support/MailMate/Resources. Within it I have the following:

{
verifications = (
{
title = "You sure about this?!”;
details = "You are not sending this email from your Comcast account.";
conditions = "from.domain = 'yahoo.com'";
}
);
}

So, it is supposed to show me the message allowing me to proceed or not 
if I am trying to send an email from my yahoo account. It never works. 
I’ve messed around with it in so many ways trying different things.

Anyone able to provide any direction on resolving this?

Many thanks!
