Hey, thanks. You helped a lot. Just a minor question I was gonna ask you.
Here's the deal. There is a user 'postman' on the box that fetches mail from
*@domain.com and sorts it by headers (with maildrop) and puts it in
approbriate boxes like so
.mailfilter
if(^/(To|Cc): .*bob){
to "!bob"
}
if(^/(To|Cc): .*jack){
to "!jack"
}
but what heppens is when a message has both bob and jack in the to: field or
say bob in to: and jack in cc: the message gets delivered to bob simply
because bob is the first in the filter. Those messages never get delivered
to jack. How'd I fix that?
