I used to use procmail a couple decades ago, then I switched to Debian, and Debian installed exim by default, and I started using exim to sort my mail instead. My corresponding rule is: if $h_X-Mailing-List: contains "debian-" then save $home/Mail/deb/ finish endif No translation required. (And I prefer a single mailbox for all my debian lists, which is why I just match on "debian-" instead of the full name/address of the list.) -- Dave Sherohman
