Debian list `From' line (Re: exim mutt, weird)
I have a procmail recipe to catch the Debian mailing list traffic : :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian It fails on mail from a few users, for which the `From' line is not the Debian mailing list: Rev. Joseph Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nils Rennebarth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Norbert Veber [EMAIL PROTECTED] I notice that these failed messages are also all in MIME (coincidence?). I wonder if the following quote is related to that: Rev. Joseph Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This machine is icarus2.dyn.ml.org. Therefore, my MTA generated From line is [EMAIL PROTECTED] This has started to fail recently, but a few other things have changed also. Instead of receiving my mail directly to my Debian box, I get it from an NT server using fetchmail release 4.2.2 using POP3. Is fetchmail or the NT server changing the `From' line? Has anyone seen this happen too? -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.

I have a procmail recipe to catch the Debian mailing list traffic : :0 * ^From [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian I suggest you use the X-Mailing-List header instead. It's added by the mailing list manager, so it gets added to every mailing list message. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why don't you just use the Resent-Sender field? This works mostly, but again a few people have a Resent-Sender added to their mail before it goes to the listserver, and they then slip through. I've found the X-Mailing-List header to be the most reliable way of sorting. (Of course, if debian's listserv added a received: header that told for whom the message was received, I might key off that as I do for some non-debian lists). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Debian list `From' line (Re: exim mutt, weird)
ahhh OOPS! I tottally forgot about that one! I still prefer ^X-Mailing-List: . since you know debian-user puts it in...(also that way if a messgae is sent to you directly AND to the list...the version that went through the list get ssorted in the list folder and the copy directly to you goes in you inbox This brings upa thought what if you didn't want that behaviour and actually wanted the duplicate mail which would differ only by a few headers (a coupld of recieved, an X-Loop (from debian-user) and the X-Mailing-List, to be lost (so that you only get 1 copy of the mail and only read one)? Could that be easily done? I wonder (hmm possibly use an external script which would grep the folder for that identical message ID and not deliver it if that ID shows up??) -Steve Joel Klecker wrote: At 10:14 -0400 1998-04-21, Stephen Carpenter wrote: Nils Rennebarth wrote: * ^TOdebian-user.* debian-user I used to use that also but a number of them got through I don't think that handles cc: to the list From procmailrc(5): If the regular expression contains `^TO' it will be sub- stituted by `(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X- Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^a-zA-Z])?)', which should catch all destination specifications containing a specific word. -- Joel Espy Kleckermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://web.espy.org/ Debian GNU/Linux Developer...http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
