Mornin' all,
I am trying to write a .procmailrc that will filter my mail
according to all my usual recipes and then run a certain command at then
end. My current attempt looks like this:
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=inbox
...various recipes to catch spam...
:0 c
{
...all my usual recipes...
:0
${DEFAULT}
}
:0
|/path/to/command
The way I thought that would work is that the mail would get delivered
according to the recipes in the {}'s, and any that weren't matched would
get delivered to the DEFAULT mailbox. But for some reason some mails that
would normally be filtered into other folders, are getting copied to my
inbox as weel (e.g. when people respond to ilug mails with a person in the
to: line, and ilug cc:'ed). Does anyone have any ideas?
I've tried RTFM'ing, but I don't know about you, but the procmailrc man
pages give me a headache. Just in case it helps, my usual recipes are
along the lines of:
:0
* ^Subject:.*\[ILUG]
ILUG
:0
* ^Subject:.*\[ILUG-Social]
ILUG-Social
etc, etc.
Anyway, TIA.
Steve
