Luigi:
The following is from an on-going manual revision.  It is not finished. 
However, it should generally answer your question.  If it does not,
please let me know so that I can fix the revisions.

10.4 accept/spots (0) 
accept/spots [0-9] <pattern> Set an accept filter line for spots 

<pattern> is the actual filter definition.  Currently, you may specify
filters that look at the following components of the incoming spot:

Callsign of the station being spotted
Callsign of the station making the spot
Callsign of the source node of the spot
Frequency
Info text

Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter. 

An accept filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is
passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this
to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on. 


You can use any of the following things in this line:- 

Filters for the station being spotted:
  call <letters of the prefix, but NOT country inclusive>        
     call G --> G1AAA, GJ2BBB, GU3CCC, etc will be spotted

                W1XX, W1XXX will NOT be spotted
     call PA --> PA3EZL will be spotted
                 PB2FG will NOT be spotted

  call_dxcc <numbers or prefixes>
     call_dxcc G --> G1AAA will be spotted
                     GU1AAA will NOT be spotted (different country)
     call_dxcc K --> K1XX, W1XX will be spotted (same country)
     call_dxcc 139 --> PA3EZL and PB2FG will be spotted
