Yes, Procmail will do exactly what you need. Read
man procmail General examples
man procmailex For recipe examples
man procmailrc For how to set up ~/.procmailrc
man procmailsc Weighted scoring, can use for spam filter
If you're sorting for several users from one main mailbox you may want to
use a more generic recipe:
:0
* .*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
* !^From.*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
! frank
This tells procmail to search the header for any instance of the address
[EMAIL PROTECTED], meaning that it will usually match mail from lists,
but not to match if frank sends the letter. Basically he can't mail a
letter to himself using this recipe <grin>, but the recipe assumes that if
his address is listed anywhere in the header then the letter is meant for
him.
If you use a more conventional approach:
:0
* ^TO_.*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
! frank
Mail addressed to frank will go to his username, but mail meant for him
from a talk list won't. For this you'll have to have a separate recipe
per each talk list that he's subscribed to. This can get confusing if you
have several users subscribed to varying talk lists with some overlapping.
That's why I suggested the first approach.
