Those escaped brackets are WORD delimiters, not literal brackets, as per
'man procmailrc'. This word separation stuff suffers the same fault as the
grep invocation below (though here, you could roll out the regexp macro and
add other symbols to the exclusion list such as dot and underscore). Since
the particular formail construct of obtaining the envelope From_ should
result in a raw address, you're pretty safe just matching it against the
address list. However, if you wrap the address list as above, you should
be able to catch specific addresses say if you decide to use the From:
header instead (where the result provided by formail may include other
identifying text from the From: line).
I keep the addresses in a separate file (it is easier to administer them),
one per line, no divider symbols (well, the newline serves as that - but no
ors, commas, etc), and the following is functionally similar to what I use
for several address group filters:
:0:
* ? formail -xFrom: | fgrep -i -w -f $PMDIR/friends.dat
friends.mbx
Note that this matches the friends text within the From: text (not your
replyto), and grep expects the text on stdin (rather than as a commandline
argument) - this is necessary because the from text itself may contain
other crud surrounding the address (but the use of -w helps assure us that
we don't match say "gfisher(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com" when we have
"fisher(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com" in our list -- otoh, g.fisher _would_ match, and
that's just something I accept (but haven't run into).
If you have the text already assigned to a variable, using the grep
functionality above would necessitate echoing the text:
* ? echo $REPLYTO | fgrep -i -w -f $PMDIR/friends.dat
I hope this is something like what you were looking for.
