...or will it match with simply partial letters/numbers?
I assume it will; regexps match any part of a line (the ^ is to
say that starts at the beginning of a line.)
Is there an easy way to filter on, let's say, if the part
of the address either *before* or *after* the "@" symbol
has 5 or more SUCCESSIVE digits(numbers)?
Hmm. Wouldn't '[0-9][0-9]...' work? I don't know if procmail does
things like [0-9]{5}.
This should be
a safe bet, I would think...and not axe out some *legit* aol
or prodigy mail addresses which often contain several numbers.
Yes, but what about legit compuserve ID's, which *always* have
at least 5 numbers? (Or did, before they started the Lesser
Renaming.)
If I can at least filter all of this kind of crap to one
mailbox to deal with later it would be a great Xmas present :-)
Me, I just bounce anything that doesn't resolve, in sendmail. Why
waste my time on idiots who have bad DNS? (Or "good" DNS on an NT
server that's too loaded to respond.)
