good morning everybody
trying to optimize how to filter out mail from a listserv, i have some
questions unsolved. i am using the procmail listserv as an example.

Also can you clear something up for me? When using to *TO in a
receipe, will it also be good for the following:
cc,CC,Cc,bcc,BCC,Bcc!

Please be careful to use "* ^TO", rather than "*TO", but other than
that, it does handle those addresses, as well as other useful ones.
reading the man pages gave me the same impression. to my surprise i
keep getting list mail into my mailbox. mail with
procmail(_at_)inf(_dot_)(_dot_) in
the cc field was not caught by my filter. could i please ask you to
take a look at my procmailrc to weed out my mistake:
:0
* ^To:.*procmail@
listserv.procmail

> * ^TO.*me
But basically I just want to point out that you shouldn't be using .*
after ^TO -- the ^TO construct already contains this
reading the advice of mr. eriksson, should i change to the following?
* ^To procmail@
--- possible cause ? --------------------------------------------
what is the meaning of the trailing : after the 0
is :0: different from :0 ? could that be my mistake?
thank you for your time
