Re: OT Procmail rule not working.
On Wed, Oct 24, 2001 at 07:13:57PM -0700 I heard the voice of Will Yardley, and lo! it spake thus: i use: #mutt :0 * ^Return-Path:.*mutt-users-owner.*@mutt\.org lists:mutt/ FWIW, I'd venture you'd be better off using the Sender: header. I moved over to maildrop for filtering a while back (too dang sick of procmail's various stupidities), and my rule looks like: # Mutt if(/^Sender: owner-mutt-users/) to $MBOXDIR/mutt-users Using the .*'s in the rule really kills the efficiency of it; with Sender:, you don't need any wildcards, so it's 'quicker'. Of course, whether it's a noticeable difference is questionable... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) |[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix Systems Administrator |[EMAIL PROTECTED] Specializing in FreeBSD |http://www.over-yonder.net/ The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet

It ends up in a mailbox called Mutt. might be better to use a different header since the TO expression is a special case and has to match To, Cc, etc also if someone's name or email address started with 'mutt' their mail would end up in your mutt folder. i use: #mutt :0 * ^Return-Path:.*mutt-users-owner.*@mutt\.org lists:mutt/ that's for Maildir - for mbox you'd ommit the trailing slash and add a ':' after the 0 in fact on the recipe above it should probably be: :0: * ^TO_mutt Mutt for mbox it's best to use a lock file. w -- GPG Public Key: http://infinitejazz.net/will/pgp/
