So I have a problem in that using egrep and python my regexp works fine. However, when I

have procmail process an "eml" file or mbox file for testing, or even generic
regexp testing on standard in?
There is a procmail mailing list. It is not very active.

Procmail hasn’t seen any development effort in close to 20 years, with the last
real update back in 1999, IIRC. I would not suggest anyone start on procmail
now, and I say this as someone who uses procmail.
Thanks for the advice! It's been on all my computers since I started
using *nix in 1997. I guess I took it for granted as a tool like "grep"
:) I am using procmail for some simple maillist filtering, and
spamassassin run for my account only (personal boxes), not a massive
deployment for end-users. Hopefully it won't be deprecated soon.
Secondly, is there a way for postfix to reject mail from unresolvable domains
(e.g.: reverse lookup of 1.2.3.4 returns unknown, please reject).
I think that is
reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname,
but I also use:
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_sender_domain,
reject_invalid_hostname,
Wow, these settings cut down on spam by a lot! My concern is that if
someone is on a private remote NAT network (sending real) example.com
(sending real) 1.2.3.4 but the host behind the 1.2.3.4 NAT is (sending
host) example.local (sending host) 10.1.2.3 and sends email by directly
connecting to my postfix server via 25, would the email get to me? How
common is that scenario when most providers are blocking 25 out, and
require users to use their authenticated relay?
Of course for real hosted solutions or cloud services (servers) I don't
see this being a problem because the sending server would get resolved.
Thanks in advance.
