I have a bunch of procmail recipes that pick up mail for various
mailing lists I'm on and dump it to specific folders:

lists/SLUG
I'd like for any mail that matches one of these rules to also be
forwarded to my gmail.

However, I want this last action to happen if any of the preceding rules ma=

Does anyone know if this is possible?
Hi James,
I use a structure like this, which could be extended to your needs. My
requirement is that all amil to a mailing list goes to its box. PLUS, if
it is directly to me or didn't land in a mailing list box, then it also
goes into my inbox.
The main point is using a variable to mark if it's delivered, then forward
or deliver elsewhere at the end depending on the value of the variable.
Someone else may have a neater-looking solution though...
The structure is also useful for subfiltering or archiving some lists.
======================================
# This variable is used to mark if a message is delivered
# We deliver to all sub-boxes, but don't repeat anything into inbox
DEL=0
# spam and dupe killing rules go first, and are terminating, but are
# excluded from this sample
# Mail directly to me
* ^TO.*(regexp)@my.addresses
{
DEL=1
:0 c:
$DEFAULT
}
# SLUG
:0
* ^Subject.*\[SLUG\]
{
DEL=1
:0 c:
SLUG
}
... (more similar rules) ...
# Everything else will fall through to my inbox
:0
* ? /usr/bin/test $DEL -eq 0
$DEFAULT
# Anything here (DEL != 0) was already delivered to another mailbox
# You would probably not deliver to /dev/null until you are confident of
# your rules
:0
*
/dev/null
=====================================
Cheers,
- Simon
