Remarks

The rendered message is matched against the StringToMatch. If the StringToMatch occurs as a substring within the message then a match will have occurred. If no match occurs this function will return Neutral allowing other filters to check the event. If a match occurs then the value of AcceptOnMatch is checked. If it is true then Accept is returned otherwise Deny is returned.
