Is it possible to have procmail look at a file or list of email
addresses, and if an address appears in the list it files the message
in a mailbox, else it files it in the default mailbox? I know the
names can be put in ~/.procmailrc, but it would be more convenient if
the names were stored in a separate file from a maintenance
standpoint, (maybe even ~/.mailrc, or ~/.elm/aliases.text.) Maybe
something like the cache used in Smartlist, or something. Do I have to
spawn an egrep to do this?
Use "egrep -f FILE" with the test address on STDIN. Success means the
address matched one of the regexps in the FILE (one per line; see the
"man" page).
Send me an e-mail with the subject of "send procmail library" and then
peruse the file "ackmail.rc" and "commands.rc" for an example usage of
address matching, and automatic regexp generation from input addresses.
