email not going to bit bucket

2001-05-14 08:20:36
Here is the snippet of code that writes a line about a
received email to a montitor file named mail_log - it is
at the end of another long recipe:

# save subject and date to file
:0
{
:0 wci:
* ^Subject:[        ]+\/.*
| echo "`date '+%a %b %d %Y'` " $MATCH  >>$HOME/mail_log
}

This snippet below is supposed to remove the line written by the
code above when a Re: to the original email is received:

# remove line from the monitor file if the body has killmail in it
:0Bwi:$HOME/mail_log$LOCKEXT
* killmail|killemail|kill mail|kill email|mailkill|mail kill
* ^Subject: Re:[  ]+\/[^      ].*
| fgrep -v "$MATCH" $HOME/mail_log > $HOME/temp && \
mv $HOME/temp $HOME/mail_log || rm -f $HOME/temp
/dev/null


First, from reading a response to another question the line
* killmail|killemail|kill mail|kill email|mailkill|mail kill

should be
* (killmail|killemail|kill mail|kill email|mailkill|mail kill)

right?

The recipe is removing the line from the file.  It is *not*
sending the email to the bit bucket - it is sending it out.
I can't figure out why.  Any help appreciated -

Tom
