Hi Drew,

I use procmail for mail delivery and I'm trying to concoct the right
regex to match From: headers and deliver to a folder. However mail is
sent from various addresses so I want to match all that end with
"famous-smoke.com>". Here's an example of a header:
From: "Famous Smoke Shop"<annou...@email.famous-smoke.com>
Because I also occasionally order, I don't want to catch mail from
anything that has the word "Orders" and "Famous" in the From field.
Thus here is my procmail recipe:
# Deliver order info to inbox
:0
*^From:.[Ff]amous.*[Oo]rder.*famous-smoke.com>$
"${HOME}/Maildir/new/"
Is this supposed to be "match Famous OR Order"? This currently matches
"Famous AND Order".
No, I want "Famous AND Order".
# Deliver other email to folder
:0
*^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$
"${HOME}/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/"
Going by your examples, you want to catch "Famous OR Order" and place
that in Maildir/new, and all other email from this address to go to
Maildir/.Shopping/...
Try this:
# catch "famous" or "order"
:0
* ^From:.*([Ff]amous|[Oo]rder).*famous-smoke.com>$
"$HOME/Maildir/new"
# catch everything else from this sender
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$
"$HOME/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/"
According to my procmail log, the From: header does not match. I would
expect the example From: header above to match the second regex and be
delivered to the specified folder. Where is my error?
If my assumption above is incorrect, could you paste a snippet from your
procmail log and point out what should be matching so we can have a
specific example?
This is the actual log entry from the example I used in this email:
From annou...@email.famous-smoke.com Fri Sep 3 10:11:08 2010
Subject: Another Must-Attend Event at Famous!
Folder: /home/<mydir>/Maildir/new/1283533874.95147_0.blacklamb.
8161
procmail: [95164] Fri Sep 3 10:13:05 2010
procmail: Assigning "NL=
"
procmail: Assigning "LOG=
/home/<mydir>/Procmail/famous_smoke.rc"
/home/<mydir>/Procmail/famous_smoke.rc
procmail: No match on "^From:.[Ff]amous.*[Oo]rder.*famous-smoke.com>$"
procmail: No match on "^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$"
procmail: Assigning "VERBOSE=OFF"
I think my problem is that I was missing a "space" between "*" and
"^From:". Your example shows a space and a reply from Brent Bloxam
suggests this is the problem as well. I don't quite understand the
difference between the two but have made the change and I'll see if it
works. I'm also going to hit Google and see if I can understand.
No, still not matching. Basically, why doesn't this header:
From: "Famous Smoke Shop" <annou...@email.famous-smoke.com>
Match this procmail recipe:
:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$
"${HOME}/Maildir/.Shopping/Famous Smoke/Email/"
From my procmail log:
procmail: No match on "^From:.*famous-smoke.com>$"
Thanks,
Drew
