 |
|
I have a few procmail filters that should only apply to certain email addresses (mailing lists) and I'm trying to make these easier to maintain. I'd like to have these addresses in a variable and use use that variable in the condition lines. I can't figure out how to use this variable however.
For example:
| Code: | MAILINGLISTS=(address1@domain.org|address2@otherdomain.org)
:0
* ^To.* $ ${MAILINGLISTS}
$MAILDIR/test/ |
This should move all email to these lists to the test directory, right? It works if I insert the value of $MAILINGLIST myself, like this:
| Code: | :0
* ^To.*(address1@domain.org|address2@otherdomain.org)
$MAILDIR/test/ |
so the regexp is working, the problem must be using the variable. All the examples I've found that uses variables look like mine.
edit:
Ok, I moved the first $ to the beginning of the line, right after the * | Code: | | *$ ^To.* ${MAILINGLISTS} |
This seems to work.  |
