Thanks for the help Ruud. Now I'm back to trying to solve my original
problem. That is, the following message is being falsely detected as
coming *from* me, when it is really *to* me:
From someone-else
To: <disposable(_dot_)address(_dot_)jgombos(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com>
This isn't a real header set. How are we supposed to diagnose your problem
when we're being spoonfed false info?
MAILDIR=./
You really aught to specify this as an absolute path.
FROM_="(From[ ]|(Old-|X-)?(Resent-)?\
(From|Reply-To|Sender):)(.*\<)?"
SG_ACCOUNT = jgombos(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com
You should properly escape the dot.
SG_ADDRESS = [^.]+[.][^.]+[.]$SG_ACCOUNT
Note that when tacked onto the end of the prior expression (which ends with
\<, which is a regexp which will match a NEWLINE, hello?), this can match
something on a following line, which is EXACTLY what is happening.
Why exactly are you including a newline in a header-defining regexp? And,
while you're at it, why not include the beginning of line anchor within the
regexp variable assignment, since the contents of it clearly should be
anchored, and that saves you from having to do so outside of the variable?
:0 :
*$ ^${FROM_}${SG_ADDRESS}
from_self
Change the condition line:
*$ ^\/${FROM_}${SG_ADDRESS}
Then re-run a test message and note what the MATCH is defined to.
procmail: Match on "^(From[
]|(Old-|X-)?(Resent-)?(From|Reply-To|Sender):)(.*\<)?[^(_dot_)]+[(_dot_)][^(_dot_)]+[(_dot_)]jgombos(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com"
The conditional should not be matching, because From_ is followed by
"someone-else". If I remove the [^.]+[.][^.]+[.] expression from
SG_ADDRESS, it works, but it should also work with that prefix.
it works, as in it doesn't match? No surprise there. The first part of
that regexp "[^.]+" will handily match from the beginning of a header line
all the way up to the first dot. That'd be the "To: <disposable" part,
then you have a dot (why not use "\." ?), some other string not comprised
of a dot: "address", another dot, and then your email address string. All
of which is on the line following your From_ header...
