I wrote a set of procmailrc recipes to "quarantine" certain category of
incoming mails to my site. It works with 3 simple steps: when a mail meets
certain criteria, it triggers a "quarantine" process by (1) holding the
mail while send a confirmation mail to the sender; (2) when the
confirmation mail is replied by the sender, the mail gets delivered
normally; (3) when the confirmation mail is bounced, the mail is trashed.
So far everything worked well.
Lately I noticed a minor problem with my recipes to recognize certain
bounced mails (a small proportion of all bounced).
My recipe to catch bounces is like:
:0
* ^FROM_DAEMON|^FROM_MAILER
* ^To:.*(mailmaster(_at_)xxxxxx(_dot_)xxx)
{
:0 B
* ^.*Verify the mail you sent: \/[0-9a-zA-Z\.]+
{
MATCHED="$MATCH"
:0 fw
| cat "$MAILDIR/QUARRENTEEN/$MATCHED" >> $SPAM;
:0 a
| echo 'bounced, go to spam' > "$MAILDIR/QUARRENTEEN/$MATCHED"
}
:0 e
/var/mail/Mail-error
}
which works well for most except one type of bounces from certain mail
daemon, with multi-parts:
----------start quote---------------------
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON(_at_)xxxxxx(_dot_)xxx>
Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details
(omitted)
[ Part 2: "Delivery Status" ]
(omitted)
[ Part 3: "Included Message" ]
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2015 14:05:32 -0600
From: mailmaster(_at_)xxxxxxxx(_dot_)xxx
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxx(_at_)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(_dot_)us
Subject: Verify the mail you sent: 20150128.140532KAMGTNXTV
This mail hub is withholding a mail just received from you:
- sent to <xxxxxxxx(_at_)xxxxxxxxxx(_dot_)xxx>
- with the Subject: "Find lost or stolen items from your iPhone."
This is to verify that the mail from your mailbox is not a spam.
Please confirm by replying this mail (no need to write anything;
only be sure to include this mail in the reply, and leave the Subject
line and mail body as they are):
Verify the mail you sent: 20150128.140532KAMGTNXTV
Your mail will be automatically delivered when the system receives
this confirmation from you.
Thank you.

which fell into "Mail-error". It appears the body match failed. Any advice
how the recipe should be modified in order to catch this?
Thanks, joe
