I seem to recall problems matching the ^TO macro as part of a list.
Perhaps a scoring rule like (untested):
:0:
* 1^0 ^TOlinux-xfs
* 1^0 ^TO_linux-xfs
* 1^0 ^Sender: .*linux-xfs.
* 1^0 ^X-list: .*linux-xfs
* 1^0 FROM_DAEMONlinux-xfs
* 1^0 ^From: .*linux-xfs
{
:0 c:
list_ham
:0:
linux-xfs
}
or some other variation to keep the macros separate from other tested
values?
I'm certainly learning more than I thought :-)
Does the scored version of the recipe run faster than the ORed version?
I assume something with huge scores would abort the rest of the work, like
this:
:0:
* 9876543210^0 ^TOlinux-xfs
* 9876543210^0 ^TO_linux-xfs
* 9876543210^0 ^Sender:.*linux-xfs
* 9876543210^0 ^X-list:.*linux-xfs
* 9876543210^0 ^FROM_DAEMONlinux-xfs
* 9876543210^0 ^From:.*linux-xfs
{
LISTNAME=$MATCH
}
:0E
* ! LISTNAME ?? ^^^^
{
:0 c:
list_ham
:0:
linux-xfs
}
Am I correct in assuming the the first "hit" on any of the conditions
would set a score larger than procmail's infinity, and skip the rest?
Is that actually different than this condition:
* (^TO|^TO_|^Sender:|^X-list:|^FROM_DAEMON|^From:.*)linux-xfs
in that to truly evaluate it, it must check all 6 conditions, while the scored
version can terminate as soon as a match is found?
I could see a problem if the matched portion of the list name were to
change, as you'd wind up with two mboxen: one for the old name, and one
for the new.
Which leads me to the rest of the (story) recipe I'm actually trying to
finish. Mapping the $MATCHed part to the correct folder names.
i.e.:
spamassasin-users is filed in folder sa
satalk is filed in folder sa
redhat-install-list, redhat-users and fedora-list are all filed in folder rh
linux-kernel is filed in folder lkml
etc...
I am working out how to "map" from a matched LISTNAME to an appropriate folder
name.
Note, I'm not asking for this, I'm working on it. When I get into trouble,
I'll ask for help :-)
