Thanks.. that seems to work!

 The 'to' should catch the To and Cc lines. Just curious, why do you
 _have_to_ to use filter? 

I am not a system admin. The only way (that I know) to configure elm-filter 
remains in $HOME/.elm/filter-rules :(

Regards,
  Stefan

Re: How to filter this list?

1999-10-01 Thread Manuel Arenaz Silva
Hello,

I am interrested in filtering the incoming mail. On my opinion, my situation is 
quite
different from the explained in this thread. I am the administrator of a PC K6-3
400MHz running Debian Linux. I use a mail server (mercurio.des.fi.udc.es) to 
send and
receive mails.

[mercurio:/home/des/becarios/arenaz]$ uname -a
SunOS mercurio 5.7 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCclassic

My question is: What do I need in order to filter the incomming mail received 
in the
server? Can I manage using elm?

I am currently using netscape messenger to filter the mail, but, first, I 
have to
download the mail to my machine and, second, perform the filtering action by 
hand. You
can imagine that this a tedious and embarrasing task.

I would be very grateful if you could help me.

Thanks in advance,

   Manuel Arenaz

You sound like a candidate for procmail.  IIRC, one of the examples in
the procmail docs is how to filter debian-user.

How to filter this list?
