i'd like to create a recipe to automatically sort
incoming mails into folders in the form of: brand-country
e.g.
austria(_at_)mybrand1(_dot_)com -> mybrand1-austria
germany(_at_)mybrand1(_dot_)com -> mybrand1-germany
germany(_at_)mybrand2(_dot_)com -> mybrand2-germany
etc.
as far as i can tell from the man pages, MATCH is not
too flexible for this....
You will need to extract the desired information in multiple steps.
Alternatively you can convert the e-mail address using an external
program, something like (untested)
:0 fh
* ^To:.*\/[a-z]*(_at_)[a-z]*\(_dot_)com
| formail -A `perl -npe "s/^(.*)\@(.*)\..*$/X-Folder: \\2-\\1/"`
:0
* ^X-Folder: \/
/path/$MATCH
thanks to you all for the great answers.
first i wanted to go with a procmail only solution but i need
to normalize the input a bit first.. like lowercasing everything
and such, otherwise i am gonna end up with hundreds of mailboxes
the comments about the To:, CC: fields were also correct,
the emails are sent by clients (although most of them will
simply click on a mailto: link probably), and thus can contain
any combination and form of to:,cc:,bcc: etc...
on the other hand, because of the answers to these emails
will have to be from the same address they received were
received for (from: country1(_at_)brand1(_dot_)com -> reply from:
country1(_at_)brand1(_dot_)com)
i am not sure i can go with the one mail account
multiple folders approach.
