My fault. > I understand you pull out the debian mailing list with \/[a-z.-]* > then you log to mailinglist specific log files with > LOG="debian-${MATCH} - ". No, that just tells procmail to mention debian-${MATCH} in the log file, as in which folder got that mail. > but doesn't this deposit all mails in > 00.debian , shouldn't it be 00.debian-${MATCH} ? I mis-spoke, sorry. Thanks for finishing my thought for me. I used to split them all into their own mbox. Your 00.debian-${MATCH} is correct for splitting them that way. Now, I read Debian mailinglists with slrn via the mail to News gateway linux.debian.${MATCH} :-). I read mail with mutt, and only occasionally get mails from Debian, and those all fall into ~/Mail/00.debian. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
