Hi Gang!
I wonder if anyone can give me some regexp help on making sure this email
goes to /dev/null
From: Automatic digest processor
<LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>
Reply-To: Net-Happenings
<NET-HAPPENINGS(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>
To: Recipients of NET-HAPPENINGS digests
<NET-HAPPENINGS(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>
Subject: NET-HAPPENINGS Digest - 21 Aug 2000 (#2000-137)
The subject line changes daily/weekly, but whatever I do, it doesn't catch
this particular pesky daily email.
This is what I tried;
:0
* ^From_ *\<LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM\>
/dev/null
Unfortunately, it doesn't catch the above mail.
I don't think you understand what the "*" does; it matches 0 or more
of the previous character. You specified a space, so it would match,
for example:
From_ <LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>
but not
From Some pesky text <LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>
or
From: Some pesky text <LISTSERV(_at_)LISTSERV(_dot_)CLASSROOM(_dot_)COM>
Listserv usually uses the Sender: field, so I think your best bet is:
:0
* ^Sender:(_dot_)*net-happenings(_at_)listserv(_dot_)classroom(_dot_)com
/dev/null
For that matter, have you tried unsubscribing? Try sending
signoff net-happenings
in the body to listserv(_at_)listserv(_dot_)classroom(_dot_)com(_dot_) That's
probably your
best bet.
