Re: Using Procmail for RBL Blacklists

If that's correct, then you need to ignore the topmost Received: header
and grab the ip from the second one, but your regular expression always
matches the first.  You either need to come up with a regular expression
that doesn't match Received: 2MX -> 1MX or, probably easier, use 2
conditions - one scored.  Pseudo-code only since I don't have an example
of the headers in question.

I actually like your first suggestion better. It was kinda what I was trying to do but couldn't get it to match. Here's some example headers. These guys spam me all the time; these two sets are from a single spam run of theirs. One went directly to the primary and was blocked; the other went through the secondary and got through. Here's the first one, which was caught:

And here's the second, which wasn't:

So yeah, I just need a recipe that says "look at the first received header and grab the IP, unless it comes from ${BACKUPHOST} (which I'll set to "astro.snellfamily.com" earlier in the rcfile), in which case look at the second received header". It sounds easy, but I can't seem to get it to work. Of course, I don't think I really thought about it in exactly these terms before. It's nice how talking about this stuff with people clarifies it in your own head.
