Re: procmail users list? (fwd)

Cool.  That was me.  ;^)

Just a little bit of rationale from a newbie to the procmail list:
 * I didn't see any of the headers, since I am not subscribed yet.
 * I used the link as identified on the website since that is where I
 got the software.
 * Although I did not have a compliation issue, having an email address
 when one does a "procmail -v" will not help if one is unable to compile
 procmail...

Does anyone from RWTH-Aachen.DE watch this list?

I can't say that of ANY of the messages I've sent to the listadmin, I've 
ever actually received a reply.

(Ironically, his message actually dropped into my Procmail folder and not
the SunManagers folder --- looks like I have to fix my filters.)

Yup, perhaps not filtering on the SUBJECT would be a start.

550 5.1.1 <procmail-request(_at_)informatik(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)de>... 
User unknown

 From the headers of every message posted to this list:

List-Id: discussion of the procmail program  <procmail.lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE>


The informatik host has not been part of this list for a couple of years or 
so.

Of course, 'procmail -v' itself refers to 
<procmail-users(_at_)procmail(_dot_)org>, 
which has had continuity problems for over 18 months now, starting with an 
unfortunate DNSBL listing:

<procmail-users(_at_)procmail(_dot_)org>
    (reason: 553 5.3.0 
<procmail(_at_)informatik(_dot_)rwth-aachen(_dot_)de>... Open spam 
relay - see http://www.orbz.org/)

The address used to simply forward to the list at rwth-aachen.de, but in 
December 2001, the host for the procmail.org MX was DNSBL'd (IIRC, there 
was a system failure, and when it was restored, some configurations weren't 
brought current, and as a result, it was open to relaying).

Subsequently - and, AFAIK, to this day - the procmail.org reflector is 
pointing at the informatik address, which of course bounces.  I've tried to 
point this out to Stephen, but nothing's been done.  Last time I checked 
was February of this year, which resulted in the following:

<procmail(_at_)informatik(_dot_)rwth-aachen(_dot_)de>
    (reason: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: 
procmail(_at_)informatik(_dot_)rwth-aachen(_dot_)de)
