      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.

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

        One (actually 2) little things to fix this problem.  ^TO is what
you want not ^To, the capitilization is important.  The uncaped matched
the To: line in the header, the capped version is the marco that expands
to that ungodly regex that should catch all To,Bcc,cc,etc.

        As to the trailing ':', you really should use it in this case, the
form ':0:' creadtes a lockfile for the mail folder that it will save it
in.
