Hi,
I'm seeking a bit of advice regarding folder naming. Let me explain the situation...
I run qpsmtpd / qmail / vpopmail and use maildrop to deliver the mail so I can spam
filter it using bogofilter and auto-filter my mailing lists. It's the auto-filtering I
need some help with.
I have a series of pattern matches in mmy maildrop filter that identifies any traffic
from mailing lists and puts it into the appropriate folder. Something like this:
if ( /^List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/ \
|| /^Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ \
|| /^X-Mailing-List:[:space:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ \
|| /^Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/ )
{
exception {
if (${LOGGING_ENABLED})
{
log "Matched mailing list ${MATCH2}"
}
to "${VMAILDIR}/${LISTS}.${MATCH2}/"
}
}
So for example, for this list, the "List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" header
would be matched and the message stored in the folder Lists.binc.
This has worked fine for many months. However, now I have got two mailing lists with
the same name at different domains. So, I've decided to use the whole of the list
address as the folder name, e.g [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of just Lists.binc. The
problem I've just run into is that the period in the domain name is the IMAP separater
character so my mail clients see a lists folder, with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] inside, then
another folder "org" inside the [EMAIL PROTECTED] folder.
Is there an easy way to fix this without munging the list names, e.g. [EMAIL
PROTECTED] or similar?
Thanks,
R.
