ok I copy paste your regexp that is more accurate to my need, thanks a lot
(in .mailfilter)
if (/^Subject:\s*out of office\s*$/)
{
    filter_out=1
}

You right! I created a folder .Trash into Maildir and I updated
.mailfilter with

if ( $filter_out==1 )
{
# exit
to "./Maildir/.Trash"
}

But unfortunately even after modification I still have mail (out of
office in subject) forwarded instead of being rejected.See below:

Nov 4 10:15:05 bounc postfix/local[27255]: 37EC8AC6C6:
to=<Xdomain.com>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (forwarded as
45D46AC6C8)

I have a ".forward" file in my $HOME pointing to my adress but i want
this file being process at the last filter rule entries position.
The problem seems that .forward file is read in first position.

What i expected is : postfix->maildrop -d {USER}->.mailfilter->if
subject=out of office->Maildir/.Trash else forward message accordind
.forward file

What do you suggest to me?
