Can the match operator (\/) be used in a NOT recipe?
Example:
:0
* ! ^\/(To|Cc):.*(harryp|reader|bobbiep)@(reader|newsguy)\.
How can I capture lines that match that recipe?
Er, capture lines that DON'T match? I don't get it. Those are TWO
headers you're checking anyway, so which header do you want to catch
the non-match in?
I didn't follow your reply straight away (I mean the actual possible
recipes) it will take a while for me to get it through my thick skull.
I will be doing that shortly but just a comment here about your
apparent amazement in what I posted.
Consider for a moment what procmail logs themselves say about
match (wrapped for mail):
Match on \
!"^\/(To|Cc):.*(harryp|reader|bobbiep)@(reader|newsguy)\."
Note it says that it matches that regex. Doesn't get concerned about
1 or 2 headers or that its really a NOT style regex. It simply says
that it Matches.
People speak of `\/' as match operators, so its not such a giant leap to
think it might hold whatever procmail says is a `Match'.
I did mention why I thought it wasn't working:
"procmail takes it at its word (the NOT regex) and doesn't assign the line
to $MATCH"
I appreciate the example recipes that will help me get at the
information I want going into MATCH and in the end .. a new header in
the message showing that information..... thanks once again you've
suppled quick and usefull help.
FTR, you didn't include any example header lines from the message in
question, so how are we to evauate whether things appeared to run
correctly?
Too bad too since I had carefully edited them down and put into a text
file to include in that message but apparently got too carried away
with the other content and forgot it..
