My recepe should divert matches to a junk mailbox and ignore non matching
emails. I adapted another working recepe and tried to incorporate your
solution. Here is what I used, I suspect I'm doing the wrong thing with the
braces { }. Any help much appreciated:
:0
* Subject:.*[a-z]{10,}
{ EXITCODE=99
:0 i
! junk(_at_)example(_dot_)com
}
In fact procmail doesn't understand the {10,} syntax. If you want to
have [a-z], say, 3 times, you have to write it 3 times: [a-z][a-z][a-z].
You can simplify that a bit by defining variables, though:
ALNUM="[a-z0-9]"
ALNUM5="$ALNUM$ALNUM$ALNUM$ALNUM$ALNUM"
ALNUM20="$ALNUM5$ALNUM5$ALNUM5$ALNUM5"
(There's no need to include "A-Z" as well, procmail's matching is
case-insensitive by default.) Now you can use "$ALNUM20" in your
condition if you add an initial "$" so that procmail knows it's supposed
to evaluate the variable (otherwise the "$" would be interpreted as "end
of line"):
:0
* $ ^Subject:.*$ALNUM20
! junk(_at_)example(_dot_)com
