 |
|
I created some procmail rules to rack-and-stack mail comming into my inbox and also to filter out unwanted spam.
Here is my procmail config file: | Code: |
#
## procmail config file to filter incomming e-mail
#
MAILDIR=$HOME/.maildir/
# send cron jobs e-mail to the "Cron Jobs" folder
:0:
* ^Subject:.Cron.*
"$MAILDIR/.Cron Jobs/"
# send mail from Amazon.com to it's own folder
:0:
* ^From:.*@amazon\.com
$MAILDIR/.Amazon/
# send mail from EB Games to it's own folder
:0:
* ^From:.*@ebgames\.com
"$MAILDIR/.EB Games/"
# send mail from Ameritrade to it's own folder
:0:
* ^From:.*@compliance.ameritradeclearing\.com
$MAILDIR/.Ameritrade/
# "viagra" junk mail will be sent to the SPAM folder
:0:
* ^Subject:.*(/iagra|/ICOD1IN|S0MA|XANAAX|CIAL11S|VI0XX|Vicodin)
$MAILDIR/.SPAM/
# software junk mail will be sent to the SPAM folder
:0:
* ^Subject:.*(PR0|AD0BE|PH0T0|0FFICE|NORT0N)
$MAILDIR/.SPAM/
# UK National Lottery Spam
:0:
* ^From:.*@uknationallottery*
$MAILDIR/.SPAM/

At the moment, the only thing that's happening is the cron jobs are being moved to their own directory and nothing else is being filtered...
It seems there is a problem with or after the cron jobs filter and it's skipping my other filters (or something like that)
Help!  |

Just something I noticed quickly, why do some of your $MAILDIR destinations have double quotes around them and some don't? AFAIK the quotes aren't needed and may be causing the problem.

I haven't played with procmail for years, but I remember it being
quite sensitive to errant characters.
I suggest testing one stanza at a time.
Also, consider searching for non-printing characters --I imagine
that the only ones you want are SPACE and the C-j for return.
Although I've forgotten the program, I once had a terrible
debugging time because the control file had a unbreakable-space in it.
You might want to do a regexp search for the complement of
printable chars plus SPACE and C-j.

Well, I've change my procmail config file quite a bit since my first post.
It seems that what's not filtering correctly is mailing lists, regardless of whether I'm filtering based on subject or recipient...
When filtering on subject, I can send an e-mail (from another account) with the key words it's looking for and it filters correctly, but it won't filter the mailing lists with the same key words...
I wonder if you have to do them differently? |
