Or is there another way to solve this.
You can say "if none of them, do nothing, else save to $BIGMAILBOX":
:0
* ! ^From.*peter
* ! ^From.*alex
* ! ^From.*erwin
{ }
:0E: # Yes, you want the second ":" here
$BIGMAILBOX
Do note that "From.*alex" will match, for instance,
"From: Notorious Sociopathic Spammer <alexsen(_at_)savetrees(_dot_)com>" and
"From: His name was not Alexander the Grape <grape(_at_)netcom(_dot_)com>"
... well, you get the idea. Probably you should restrict the regexps
somewhat to avoid this potential source of trouble. (Hint: look at the
\< and \> shorthands, and maybe do something to verify that the
address either has an @ immediately after the user id or none at all.)
Hope this helps,
