the closething does work but it is the ignore part I cannot get working.

Code:
raw WHISPER:*: {
  if ($nick isop $chan) { return }
  var %i = $lines(query-ignore.txt) 
  while (%i) { 
    if ($read(query-ignore.txt,%i) isin $1-) {
      .ignore $comchan($nick,1)  
      .closemsg $nick
    } 
    dec %i 
  } 
}
