I am trying to look for some keywords in my mail. I have tried the
following receipe and it does not seem to be working.
:0 B
* (procmail|xyz.com)
{
Perform from action.
}
Is this the right way to look for keywords in the email?
Your condition line (second line in recipe) looks okay to
me. You probably want to quote the period, so that it
doesn't represent "any single char" as it does otherwise
per regular-expression rules.
* (procmail|xyz\.com)
What is *not* right is your action statement inside the
curly braces. You would need, inside the braces,
:0
| perform some [er, what did you mean by "from"?] action
However, for one action or logical set of piped actions,
you don't need curly braces at all. Just
:0 B
* (procmail|xyz\.com)
| perform some action
Be sure to look over "man procmailex" and "man procmailrc".
They are quite helpful.
At the begining of the receipe, does it matter ":0 B" or ":0B"?
No. Spacing here doesn't matter to procmail. (See "man procmailrc"
for corroboration.)
