Re: [CentOS] procmail, and the care and feeding of mailing list content received

Hi Russ,

Thanks for this hint. I have a couple of questions.

This is a handy way of filtering by the mailing list name. Thanks.

• ^Subject:.*Some subject line here

*!^X-brand | formail -A "X-brand: killfile "

# and dump them :0 w

• ^X-brand: killfile /dev/null

Could you explain why you are going through killfile here? For example, can't you just do:

:0: * ^(From|Sender|Received):.*Perrin /dev/null

if you do not want anything from a person named Perrin? I have lines like that in my filter (not with 'Perrin' by the way) and it seems to be working. As you can tell, I am not very familiar with procmail filter format.
