Well I have no problems with regexps...

(CentOS 3 s390 or CentOS-3 s390) should both work and you should only

but this doesn't look like a regexp to me...

maybe "CentOS 3[- ]s390" instead?

or "(CentOS 3 s390|CentOS-3 s390)"

or "CentOS( 3|-3) s390"

or "(CentOS 3 s390|CentOS-3 s390)"

etc...

Cheers, MaZe.

Besides, the problem is messages like this one:

CESA-2005:406 Moderate CentOS 4 i386 and x86_64

MaZe.

Well, here's my .procmailrc file...

it seems to work pretty well, cutting most everything which isn't related to CentOS 4 i386...

but it does rely on no 'x86_64 and i386' headers (it'll accept 'i386 and x86_64', but it'll drop 'x86_64 and i386')

The regexps are a lot stricter then they would have to be, but I prefer to have a strict match - it's less likely to make a mistake and match something it shouldn't.

Note that none of the following match replies (Re:), since I'm not yet sure what to do with them and whether they should even show up on the announce-list....

(you will of course have to change /var/spool/mail/maze to your own mailbox wherever it appears and change the second rule to match whatever centos version and architecture you want - plus change the centos 4/3/2 matches at the end [note that order is important - you first want to match to deliver and only then match to drop, hence '4' is first and '3' and '2' follow...]

as an example CENTOS 2 for s390x (does it exist? [lol]) would have

"CentOS 4(.[0-9])? i386" ---> "CentOS 2(.[0-9])? s390(x)" in rule [2]

and the later CENTOS 4/3/2 changed to CENTOS 2/4/3 in rules [4/5/6]

hope that's understandable enough...)

Cheers, MaZe.
