I don't understand the need for the one term excluding alphanumerics. But since the whole term is optional with ?, I don't see how it can affect the result.
One simple approach might be to try a simple ^To:.*@lists.debian.org to see if that works, then building up this formula piece by piece to see where it starts failing.
Thanks Chris, I'll try that
I did wonder about that and tried it with *test* in the recipe which didn't seem to make any difference. Looking through the various examples it seems that procmail looks for the string and ignores what comes after - but maybe I've misunderstood - I'll have another look.procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/clive/Procmail/rc.subscriptions"procmail: No match on "^Subject:.*test" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/clive/Procmail/rc.testing" procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/clive/Mail" procmail: [3673] Sat May 3 13:50:18 2003 I am collecting mail every 10 minutes (cron job) and I've been sending test messages with the subject " a test 1 " etc. I'm also receivingYour recipe for test says the subject must _end_ with 'test'.
