Newbie needs help

2003-02-05 14:52:40
Hello!

I have been using a shell accounts on Linux machines for some years now 
but haven't gotten into Procmail until recently.

I was wondering if one of you could help me with a problem.

Let's say I want allow only certain people to contact me via a particular 
email account.

In my .procmailrc file, I wrote:
:0:
* 
!(^From:(_dot_)*email1(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com|^From:(_dot_)*email2(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com|\
^From:(_dot_)*email3(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com|^From:(_dot_)*somebody(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com|\
^From:(_dot_)*friend(_at_)aol(_dot_)com|^From:(_dot_)*friend(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com|\
^From:(_dot_)*brother(_at_)serv(_dot_)net|^From:(_dot_)*sister(_at_)qwest(_dot_)net|\
^To:(_dot_)*procmail(_at_)lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE|^Subject:.*[CyberDojo]|\
^From:(_dot_)*(_at_)somemailinglist(_dot_)com)
Spam

As I understand from reading the various FAQs and tutorials, this should 
be saying that if the email is:

NOT From one of the following:  email1(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com, 
email2(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com, 
email3(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com, somebody(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com, 
friend(_at_)aol(_dot_)com, friend(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com, 
brother(_at_)serv(_dot_)net, sister(_at_)qwest(_dot_)net, somemailinglist.com

-or-

NOT sent to:  procmail(_at_)lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE

-or-

does NOT have a Subject containing:  [CyberDojo]

then send it to the Spam folder.
Am I correct in this?  What can I do to make it better?


Many thanks!
