What you need to do is check the headers of a few list messages to
find headers that are always inserted, and are unique.
:0:
* ^From:(_dot_)mutt-users(_at_)mutt\(_dot_)org
mutt-users
The mutt-users list doesn't have this header, this mails always come
from the individual list participants, the following works for me:
:0:
* ^Sender: owner-mutt-users
LI.mutt
i'll try it out and see how it goes for this one.
:0:
* ^TO_cvs-all
* ^From:.owner-cvs-all
* ^Sender:.*cvs-all
freebsd/cvs-all
Procmail considers multiple conditions for one recipe to be AND
conditions, is this what you mean? A mail will only match this
recipe if:
it is TO_cvs-all, is from owner-cvs-all and has a sender cvs-all
ok... i thought that it was an OR condition. i'll try the example for
your mutt recipe since the freebsd lists seems to always have an
"owner-freebsd-* " in the [X-]Sender: field.
:0:
* ^TO_freebsd-questions
* ^From:.owner-freebsd-questions
* ^Sender:.*questions
freebsd/questions
The same goes for this.
Additionally, the ^TO_ regexp is quite processor hungry, especially
when filtering list mail, it's probably better not to use it if you
can find a unique single header for that list.
thanks for the tip. i'll try to play around some more with it.
