Hello all, I searched the archives and didn’t quite find the info I’m looking for. I’ll have to bore you with some details of some changes I recently made to get to my point…
I had been using procmail $forever. I just recently kicked over to maildrop. So far so great. To that end - I have a pretty neat piece of config that autocreates and files mailing list messages based on List-ID header. To my surprise - some “marketing” types of mail (i.e. my bank, retailers, etc) were getting filed info folders like “1901173” and the like. Digging in - I see headers with a List-ID of NNNNNN.xt.local (I believe the xt is ExactTarget). I really want these to come to my inbox (so at least I can unsubscribe from them) - and I certainly don’t want the mess of cryptically named folders getting created. I know this is part of the tradeoff in trusting List-ID and creating folders, but for 99% of what I do - this is legitimate “good old fashioned” (technical) mailing lists. Has anyone dealt with this issue and would care to share ? For now I have a simple regex matching the NNNNNN.xt.local and short circuiting into my inbox. I suppose Ill come across any other outliers like this going forward - but was hoping perhaps someone on the list already had some good regex to catch more of these. PS: Mini-rant. I guess the List-ID header isn’t the sacred ground of only “real” mailing lists - but I was (naively perhaps) surprised that a “cloud marketing solution” would be using it in the manner than they are. Thanks in advance for any wise words on this. -- Brandon Applegate - CCIE 10273 PGP Key fingerprint: 0641 D285 A36F 533A 73E5 2541 4920 533C C616 703A "For thousands of years men dreamed of pacts with demons.
