[CLUG] sendmail idiocy

[adam beecher]

Sorry for the lack of a reply to this one Donncha, I only started playing
with procmail last month and sent the mail for a couple of lists to the
wrong places. Just found the folders now. Anyway, I ended up opening a
process to sendmail and doing it that way, job done.

Speaking of procmail, I'd like to tidy my procmailrc up a little by
automating the delivery of mailing lists to dedicated folders as much as
possible. Anyone got a recipe, save me having to poking at my headers? (So
to speak.)

Thanks,
adam
