Does ^FROM_MAILER match on the

line? I looked at what the macro breaks down into and I didn't see any
occurance of it searching on the Return-Path line in the header.
However, I have noticed that people who send me a message with
anything(_at_)domain(_dot_)name but with something like:
Return-Path: <Mailer-Daemon(_at_)domain(_dot_)name>
in the header that the ^FROM_MAILER sees it as a match. Secondly, if
this is in fact the case does anyone have an idea how I can use this
macro but tell it to ignore the Return-Path line in the header? I want
the matches on the From: line to be filtered correctly.
While the ^FROM_MAILER token doesn't match on Return-Path:, it does
match on the "From " line. The address found in that line is generally
the same as that found in a Return-Path: header (namely, the envelope
sender).
As for keeping it from doing that, I can think of only one simple way
that really works: insert the token replacement text directly into your
.procmailrc, removing the unwanted part:
:0
* (^((Resent-)?(From|Sender)|X-Envelope-From):\
([^>]*[^((_dot_)%(_at_)a-z0-9])?(Post(ma(st(er)?|n)|office)\
|(send)?Mail(er)?|daemon|mmdf|n?uucp|ops|r(esponse|oot)\
|(bbs\.)?smtp(error)?|s(erv(ices?|er)|ystem)\
|A(dmin(istrator)?|MMGR))(([^).!:a-z0-9][-_a-z0-9]*)?[%@> ]\
[^<)]*(\(.*\).*)?)?$([^>]|$))
whatever
You can't just add a condition to see if the ^FROM_MAILER had matched
on the "From " line because it might have a possible later match on
another header line.

(As a footnote, SRB, the author of procmail, perfers to call the ^TO,
^TO_, ^FROM_MAILER, and ^FROM_DAEMON thingys, "tokens" instead of
"macros", probably because they only behave specially inside of
regexps, unlike a hypothetical macro which would also be expanded
inside variable assignments and other random places in one's
procmailrc.)
