hello other procmail users
i'm a beginner procmail user and have a couple of questions.
this is from my rc.spam file:
# These people are to be deleted offhand
:0:
*^Received:.*asahi|^Received.*bitstream.com
| ${FORMAIL} -rkf \
-I "X-Mailer: Spam Complaint"\
-I "From: Peter Jay Salzman"\
-i "Subject: Your message has been deleted"\
| $SENDMAIL -t -oi
1- this recipe will probably grow quite large. is there a way to hold
known spammers in a separate file? does someone have a file like this?
2- is there a way of writing something like "an email from <FOO(_at_)BAR> was
deleted off hand" when this recipe gets run?
3- most likely the reply will go to a bogus address. is there a way of of
cc'ing it to:
1- the postmaster of the host listed in From:
2- the postmaster of the host listed in the first Received:
(which is probably the right person to send it to).
# legitimate mail, we'll leave a back door open. Any email with a subject
# of "spam error" will be accepted. also, we want to keep any email that
# originates from ucd.
:0:
* ^Subject.*spam error|^From.*ucdavis
$DEFAULT
4- would the prefered way of expressing this be
* ^(Subject.*spam error | ^From.*ucdavis)
is there a prefered way of expressing this?
much thanks. if anyone has some really neat spam filters, i'd love to see
what other people are doing with this wonderful program.
pete
