mail forwarding/ filter problem.

2001-08-20 06:01:02

I have a small home LAN and am using these recipes with procmail to forward
mail as well as dump spam.

The problem is that spam seems to be getting around the filter as well and
some mail is not being forwarded.

Issue # 1 is that the recipe;

:0
* ! ^TO_ssykes(_at_)emirates\(_dot_)net\(_dot_)ae
Possible.Spam1

should dump all mail that is not addressed to me, I still get mail that
doesn't seem to have my address in the header.  i.e. To:
undisclosed(_dot_)recipient(_at_)123(_dot_)com etc.

Issue # 2 is that in the base.rc, The recipes:

:0
* ^From:.*infobeat
! srs

:0
* ^From:(_dot_)*(_at_)list(_dot_)euniverse(_dot_)com
! srs

should send any mail from infobeat or *(_at_)list(_dot_)euniverse(_dot_)com to 
srs.  This
doesn't happen although other mail forwards fine to srs.  The recipes look
fine, I must be missing something.

The .procmailrc files calls the includes in the order list, spam, base.  The
log file seems to be correct and reflects the actual incorrect mail
delivery.

I am stumped.

Anyone have an idea what I have done wrong?
