I recently subscribed to a mailling list running off of majordomo and
followed my usual procedure of adding the list into my .procmailrc... But
for some reason, the mailling list is not getting sorted out by procmail
and it's driving me nuts.
The list is coming from owner-isp-telco(_at_)bsd1(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)net
and what I have in my .procmailrc is:
:0
* ^From(_dot_)*(_at_)bsd1(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)net
ISP-TELCO
which should take any mail and stick it in a folder called ISP-TELCO
sitting in my Mail directory. This doesn't happen though. It all
accumulates in my INBOX which is really aggervating me. I've even tried
altering the * ^From(_dot_)*(_at_)bsd1(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)net to *
^From(_dot_)*(_at_)*(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)net but the
same thing still happens. Now the mail header on the message is as
follows (greatly cut BTW):
From owner-isp-telco(_at_)bsd1(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)net Thu Jul 11 00:31:25
1996
From: Richard Cramer <rwc(_at_)cscfx(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)com>
Message-Id: <199607110403(_dot_)AAA21473(_at_)cscfx(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)com>
Subject: isp-telco ISP-TELCO list in now open for posting
To: isp-telco(_at_)bsd1(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)net
Sender: owner-isp-telco(_at_)bsd1(_dot_)sytex(_dot_)net
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated as this is filling up my inbox and
I'd really like it being sorted out so I can read it as I get to it...
Actually, the easiest way to filter mailing lists like this is with the To
line. The following recipe should work:
:0:
* ^TOisp-telco
ISP-TELCO
