For completeness, that's not much less complex (aka line noise) than my procmail rule, and mine splits each debian list into its own mbox, and handles newsfroup backscatter: # ------------------------------------ # debian-${MATCH} # # The MATCH operator \/ matches whatever the regexp that follows # it matches. # :0 * 1^0 ^X\-Mailing\-List:.*debian-\/[a-z.-]* * 1^0 ^Newsgroups:.*debian.\/[a-z.-]* * 1^0 ^Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] { LOG="debian-${MATCH} - " :0: 00.debian } I've been recommending noobs try maildrop first for years. Procmail may be a howitzer where a shiv is needed. :-) -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
