Sean et all,
Thanks for your reply. I 've used pastie.org because sending the procmail
recipe by email seems to mess it up. Perhaps using the linenumbers of the
pasted code makes it easier to comment on? I have changed the previous
recipe (see http://pastie.org/477175), but I'm not sure about the changes.
I'm trying to wrap my head around the 'code', but I really could use some
more guidance.
All the best,
grtz

FTR, sing a clipboard website makes it difficult to make comments to
specific lines of code...
The 9876543210^0 is a "maximal" score - anything that exceeds 2 to the 31st
power (circa 2.1 billion) does, but this particular value is easy to
remember and key in, being a simple sequence.
Next, both the first recipe and the one that follows it, have no apparent
ACTION lines. Actually, they do, but they're tacked onto the end of the
last condition line, which means they're evaluated as if part of THE
CONDITION.
Futher in, I note you have opening braces for several recipes starting on
the condition line. That's not valid. Might be fine in perl and C, but it
isn't valid for procmail.
With so many glaring syntax errors, it's tough to justify examining the
rules any deeper than that.
procmail: Invalid regexp "^(List-Post:[ ]*(<mailto:
)?|List-Owner:[]*(<mailto:)?owner-) \/[-A-Z0-9_+]+"
Looks like your cut-n-paste lost spaces and tabs somewhere - the empty
character class after List-Owner is suspicious. Quite often, the brackets
enclose a space and tab.
