Can you then have procmail to put all the mail that does not go into the mailing list folders into a default mailbox?
# Put mail for pkirk in its own mailbox :0: * ^(From|Cc|To).* $HOME/mail/patrick Or would that break all the rule processing? Speaking of rule processing, I found a dynamic way of setting mailing list boxes if you can make it work with maildir - apologies for those who feel this is too long... ############################## # Dynamic Mail filters # # I can't remember who I originally found this trick from, but it has # made my l ife much # simpler. The following set of rules use the matching ability of # procmail # to dynamically filter mail based on parsing one of the possible # mailing list headers. # This means you can subscribe to new mailing lists without having to # add lines # to your procmail filters. Very Good Thing (tm). # # When I first found this list, I think there were 4 entries. I am now # up to 8 . I # add a new entry every time some new mailing list ends up in my inbox # (i.e. it # is not covered by the current ruleset.) Comments appear where I can # remember # Used by the perl6-all list to break out into seperate mailboxes :0: * ^X-Mailing-List-Name: \/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` # Majordomo uses Sender header to tell when it is coming from :0: * ^Sender: owner-\/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-BeenThere: \/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^Delivered-To: mailing list \/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-Mailing-List: <\/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-Loop: \/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-List-ID: <\/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-list: \/[EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'
