In the first part of the condition you're asking: '@' in mail which is OK, but in the second part of the condition you're asking: comment not in ("Ρωτήστε με σχετικά...") which I think should be: "Ρωτήστε με σχετικά..." not in comment Incidentally, it looks to me like you're using Python 2, in which case it's probably a good idea to use Unicode, so that would be: u"Ρωτήστε με σχετικά..." not in comment and so forth.
