I think header_filter_rules is lacking one thing that would allow your simply dropping your procmail recipes directly in, and that is the fact that if you list multiple re's in a rule, they are always OR'd, not ANDed. I have no experience with the first part of this, but it may be possible to use your list aliases to invoke procmail instead of mailman and then have the procmail recipes either delete the mail or deliver it to the appropriate wrapper command. I do have experience with delivering from procmail to mailman in a different context, and that works well. The specifics in my case are that all mail to a particular virtual domain is delivered to procmail which has recipes for delivering to various 'generic' addresses in the domain and recipes like EnvelopeTo = $1 ... # LISTNAME mailman list.... :E * EnvelopeTo ?? ^LISTNAME$ |sudo -u mailman /var/mailman/mail/mailman post LISTNAME :E * EnvelopeTo ?? ^LISTNAME-admin$ |sudo -u mailman /var/mailman/mail/mailman admin LISTNAME ... Depending on how this is set up, you may or may not need sudo and an appropriate entry in /etc/sudoers. Having Mailman actually invoke procmail after receiving the mail to implement spam filtering might be doable too, although it would be better to do it as above if possible, i.e., before the mail gets to mailman. You could try implementing a new handler and putting it first in the pipeline (you test with a test list with it's own pipeline attribute and after you're satisfied, but it in GLOBAL_PIPELINE and OWNER_PIPELINE). The handler could invoke procmail to apply the recipes in a .procmailrc. Another drawback to both this added handler and header_filter_rules, is they are only applied to posts and messages to -owner and not to messages to -bounces, etc. Thus, it is best if you can arrange to not deliver the spam to Mailman in the first place. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
