What I'm looking for is a way to tell a mail filtering tool how to
automatically sort mails from mailing lists.
     

Just two days ago Sascha Andres has announced on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
that he started to host a list of procmail recipes for mailing
lists.  At the moment there are only about ten recipes listed, but
with our contributions it will probably soon be more.
Find the annoncement at
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux/2003-Jun/0207.html
And the list (in German) itself at:
http://procmail.livingit.de/
   

Nick Moffitt of Crackmonkey has a set of filters which I tried locating
a few days ago, didn't turn it up though a bit of Googling might.
Peace.

 

I just read a good Exim+Courier+Debian HOWTO I found at 
http://www.debianplanet.com. The direct link is:

http://talk.trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim_maildir_imap.shtml

Once exim's set up(I was previously using procmail) you set up a simple 
.forward file in your home directory and use it to direct your emails to 
folders under you main maildir. Some info on exim filter specifications 
can be found at:

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.00/doc/html/filter_toc.html

I've set mine up with:

# Exim filter
if $return_path: contains "debian-user" then save Maildir/.debuser/new/
elif $return_path: contains "debian-laptop" then save Maildir/.deblap/new/
endif
Works like a charm so far.
