Re: Trouble with Procmail-3.10 and smail-3.2 under Linux

I am trying to write a Procmail recipe to filter large amounts of 
unwanted mail (to /dev/null, of course) and I have a few questions about 
what can and cannot go into a recipe.  Here's what I have so far:

:3
! ^From +[^ ]*(postmaster|Mailer)
! ^From +[^ ]*(listproc|majordomo|listserv)
! ^To +[^ ]*(several|mailinglists|seperated|like|this)
/dev/null

My intent is to have procmail keep sorting the mailing lists that I 
usually subscribe to to the correct folders (in another rc. file), keep 
all of the 'welcome to this list' messages from listserv, listproc, or 
majordomo, and delete the rest of the stuff.  Will the above recipe do 
basically that, or am I way off base?
