:~>Hey, folks - when you go on holiday how about switching off your
:~>connection to the mandrake mailing list! As the summer
:~>approaches (at least here in the UK and in the northern
:~>hemisphere) I can forsee lots of automated replies being
:~>circulated if we don't help each other in this way.
Use .procmail for your auto-repliers. Here is my receipt:
# autoreply
:0 Whc: autoreply.lock
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: .*\@havlik.org
* !^X-Loop: .*\@mandrakesoft.com
* !^Precedence: list
| formail -rD 32768 vacation.cache
:0 ehc # if the name was not in the cache
| (formail -rA"Precedence: junk" \
-A"X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" ; \
cat ~/.plan \
) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
This part:
* !^Precedence: list
ensures that i do not send auto-replies to lists, and
| formail -rD 32768 vacation.cache
:0 ehc # if the name was not in the cache
Makes sure you get my message only once (until the cache is
filled.). Normally, you would not use so large cache, but I receive a HUGE
load of messages. "~/.plan" is a file containing my message.
It is still a good idea to filter lists before this rule (saves time). For
instance:
# Mandrake mailing lists
:0:
* Precedence: list
* X-Loop:.*\/\<[a-z\-]+\@linux\-mandrake.com
{
LIST = $MATCH
:0:
* LIST ?? ()\/[a-z\-]+
{
LIST = $MATCH
:0 c:
* LIST ?? fun
* BH ?? \<(sound)\<
! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:0:
mail/Mandrake/$LIST
}
}
sorts all mandrake mailing lists to their own folders, so that I can read
post directed to me first, and lists when I have time to do it.
cheers
Denis
