Re: Creating Folders based on "From"

From: Joe Reid <the_big_egg(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com>

What I am trying to do is to create a recipe to filter
emails into seperate folders based on the address they
came from.  Hence my email would be saved in a folder
called "The_Big_Egg" and the @yahoo.com would be
chopped.  

Which address they came from?  From_ (the first line in
a standard mail folder, but created by your system
sendmail, iirc); or From:?  The latter can be munged.

Or the Reply-To:?  Or the X-Sender-From:, if it exists?
Etc.

Anyway, I will use formail -t and let it decide.


  ## Find Sender and store value in FROM
  FROM = `formail -zrx To:`

  ## Find local part of Sender address
  :0
  * FROM ?? ^^\/[^(_at_)]+
  { LOCALNAME = $MATCH }  

  :0  # save the mail in that filename
  $LOCALNAME
