Yes, I use multiple addresses all the time...we're still seeing a lot of
stuff using our legacy domain name lerc.nasa.gov. I was just curious if
Sender might also be a good way to handle it. In this specific
instance, I was not made aware of the alternate addresses for the list.
All of the messages I saw in the .catch archive were from the same
Sender, despite the fact that they were sent to different list
addresses.
I've also tried using the regex for out domain name issue...
Address: list-name(_at_)[le|g]rc.nasa.gov which seems to work fine too, but
it's more confusing to those who don't read regex....never know when a
new contractor might come in and take my job. :)

I've noticed recently that my .catch archive is grabbing a bunch of

mystery, it's related to having multiple aliases for a majordomo list...
e.g. mharc-users(_at_)mhonarc(_dot_)org,
mharc(_dot_)users(_at_)mhonarc(_dot_)org,
mharc_users(_at_)mhonarc(_dot_)org etc.
In this sort of instance, what do you (all of you) think the best way to
filter the emails would be? I had thought of filtering on the Sender
field, but I'm not sure if that would be consistent...it seems to be,
but I'm not certain.
In lists.def, you can specify multiple addresses for an archive. For
example, for the mhonarc-users archive on mhonarc.org, I have the
following lists.def settings:
Name: mhonarc-users
Description: MHonArc Users
Address: mhonarc-users(_at_)mhonarc(_dot_)org
Address: mhonarc(_at_)ncsa(_dot_)uiuc(_dot_)edu
Address: mhonarc(_at_)rosat(_dot_)mpe-garching(_dot_)mpg(_dot_)de
This is to handle the past addresses of the user list.
You can also specify regex patterns for an address. For example:
Address: (_dot_)*(_at_)mhonarc(_dot_)org
will match all messages sent to a mhonarc.org address.
But you should be careful in using regex patterns since you may match
and address you do not want matched.
