To deal with the high volume of mail on this list I set up filter to move the debian-related mail to an elm folder. Unfortunately, filter, or at least my configuration, seemed very buggy; not all the debian mail was noticed and moved to the special folder, and forwarded messages (for debian or not) were stuffed completely. Unfortunately procmail is not available on this system (which is the university's main computer science student machine, running Solaris) and I couldn't find the source on the net in a quick browse. So looking through the comp.sources.unix archives I found, in volume 28, sortmail, which does the job beautifully. My .sortmailrc is pretty short;
# .rc file for sortmail, which files mail in the right places # mail goes in to the incoming if unrecognised, # or to the debian folder if appropriate set mailbox='/var/mail/moffatt' set folder='Mail' /debian/t:+debian Much less confusing than filter. The provided Makefile is set for Solaris 2.x, but I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to get it running on Linux. If I get inspired I might look in to doing a package. Hope this helps somebody. (Oh, and the binary is only 25k (on Solaris at least), which is pretty good if you're on a quota). hamish
