[luau] procmail recipe

[Ronnie Baron]

I'm trying to create a procmail recipe for the list so it goes to a
specific folder but the one I have is not working. Any suggestions?

:O:
* ^List-Id:.*luau.videl.ics.hawaii.edu
/var/spool/mail/luau

:O:
* ^(from:|cc:|to:).*luau
/var/spool/mail/luau

Thanks,
Ronnie

My rule looks like this

:0
* ^List-Post: 
LUAU-VIDEL

Near the top of my procmailrc is this:

MAILDIR=$HOME/mail

I'm not sure if delivering to a full path name works or not, if it does
then you probably have permission problems.  I personally always used it
like above where it delivers to mbox files within my user's home
directory.

Use :0 H:, instead of just :0:, otherwise you check the body of
the message, waste CPU cycles, and have false matches.

If you enable logging, you might see that you are unable to
deliver to /var/spool/mail/luau. Save your messages under your
home direcotory, like $HOME/Mail/luau.

I would avoid using the last rule, but you can more correctly
write it as: * ^(From:|TO_).*luau

And be sure to check the procmail(ex|rc) man pages.

Woops. I guess I should refresh myself with the man pages as well:

   HEgrep the header (default).
