Subject: Re: Rant about spamgard (off-topic)
From: wje(_at_)netcom(_dot_)com (William J. Evans; mail protected by
spamgard{tm})
: Since he has \<mail\> in
:his from header, it is getting caught by ^FROM_MAILER and his
:posts are getting filed with my bounces & what not, instead of
:with this list.
What I don't understand at this point is whether Eli considers this a
problem of his, or a problem of mine.
By RFC 822, the word "mail" in this From: (see above) is not part of an
address. It is a comment because it appears in parentheses. I would
argue that the intent of the FROM_MAILER macro is to match addresses,
not comments, and therefore needs to be fixed or recipes need to filter
out comments before using it. I feel too new to procmail to suggest
how to do this. Maybe somebody more experienced?
Regards, Ed
