Others have noted the variations in spelling designed to thwart this kind
of thing, but the rule you actually want is:
:0 B
* viagra
/dev/null
B means search the whole body. C is not a valid flag, though c is.
An inefficient demo of another flag (note the space after the \ below):
:0 Dfw
* ^\>From\
| sed -e 's/^>From /From /g'
D means the * line is actually case sensitive. f means we're filtering
the message if we have a match, and w causes procmail to wait until the
filter is complete before doing more. Maildir users might use the above
to strip that annoying > prefix most mailers and MTAs put on From at the
beginning of a line to keep the message from breaking traditional UNIX
mbox format files.
Note that none of the rules in this message lock. When you write to
something that is not reentrant, always lock with a : at the end of the
first rule line. If the : is followed by more text, that text is the name
of the file that will be used as a lockfile. (Needed if you're delivering
to a pipe or something since procmail won't be able to guess the lockfile
name that it should use..) mbox needs locking. MH folders may or may not
need locking, I don't remember. Maildir does not need it and is NFS-safe
regardless of whether or not anything else is, including NFS itself.
Procmail is one of those things that very quickly gets into deep voodoo,
but on the whole it's not too difficult once you understand the basics.
