content-list rule won't work

["Sheahan, Paul (PCLN-NW)" <Paul.Sheahan () priceline com>]

Hello,

I'm testing a new rule using the content-list option and can't get it to
work. I keep getting the error: "ERROR /etc/snort/test.rules Line 5 =>
Non-escaped  ' " ' character!"

Here is the test rule:

alert tcp any any -> $HOME_NET 80 (msg:"Testing";
content-list:"/etc/snort/emails.txt"; nocase;)

This rule is exactly like my standard "content" rules except this one is
using "content-list" instead. I've tried many combinations of the above rule
by changing spacing, putting the content-list option before the MSG option
etc, but all return the same "Non-escaped ' " ' character!" error.

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?



Thanks!
