FWIW here's what I did for the same situation -
<in procmailrc>
# Here we search the list of people we always want to get mail from,
# and deliver the mail if it's from one of them, no matter what.
# The FRIENDS file is set and described above.
:0
* ? (formail -x From: -x Sender: | fgrep -iqf $FRIENDS)
{
COMSAT=yes # notify me of receipt if possible
:0:
$DEFAULT # deliver to default mailbox
}
# Now we'll look for mailing lists so they don't go to SUSPECT, as
# these will not be addressed directly to us, and later we will route
# messages not addressed to us to SUSPECT.
# LISTS is set and described above.
:0hw
LIST=|formail -xSubject: -xTo: -xCc: -xSender: -xFrom: | $HOME/bin/mygrep.plx
:0a:
Lists/$LIST
<...snip several anti-spam rules>
<$FRIENDS points to a file with a list of email addrs of people i like>
also, I wrote a small helper script in perl for my lists -
$ cat bin/mygrep.plx
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $lists = "/home/bringman/.procmail/lists";
open (IN, $lists) or die ("damn : $!");
my @file = <IN>;
close (<IN>);
while (<STDIN>) {
foreach $line (@file) {
chomp ($line) ;
if ($_ =~ /$line/i) {
print (lc("$line\n"));
exit 0;
}
}
}
exit 1;
/home/bringman/.procmail/lists looks like this -
$ cat /home/bringman/.procmail/lists
crypto-gram
SECURITYPORTAL
suse-announce
linux-quake
dns(_at_)list(_dot_)cr(_dot_)yp(_dot_)to
bugtraq
sans
openbsd
procmail
geeks-owner(_at_)monkey(_dot_)org
spamtools(_at_)abuse(_dot_)net
these are the names of the folders that I want my lists saved to, and
also a search string for Subject, to, Cc, Sender for From.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
