I wrote this recipe hoping that it would take care of the silly email
that you get from folks---you know, they think they have a funny joke
and decide to send it to four hundred of their closest friends. Anyway,
here is the recipe:
:0
*
^(To|Cc):(_dot_)*(_at_)(_dot_)*@(_dot_)*(_at_)(_dot_)*@(_dot_)*(_at_)(_dot_)*@(_dot_)*(_at_)(_dot_)*@(_dot_)*(_at_)(_dot_)*@(_dot_)*(_at_)(_dot_)*@
/dev/null
To my thinking, if either to or cc contains more than 12 @s then it
should delete the post. But it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?
I don't know. What do your logs say?
Your recipe works for me.
But while looking for messages in my cache to test it on,
I found one that was no joke, but mail from a friend reporting
on the death of his mother. Are you sure you want to /dev/null
these? You will likely get some false positives.
I suppose you're right. I'll create a separate mailbox for all this
stuff and see if I can get it to work that way. There is the
possibility that I might miss something important.
BTW, I was unable to glean anything from my procmail.log.
