A good procmail rule for sorting pretty much every mailing list I've ever come across, automagically creating new boxes for new lists: ############################## # Dynamic Mail filters # The following set of rules use the matching ability of procmail to # dynamically filter mail based on parsing one of the possible # mailing list headers. This means you can subscribe to new mailing # lists without having to add lines to your procmail filters. Very # Good Thing (tm). # When I first found this list, I think there # were 4 entries. I am now up to 8. I add a new entry every time # some new mailing list ends up in my inbox (i.e. it is not covered # by the current ruleset.) Comments appear where I can remember # them. # Used by the perl6-all list to break out into seperate mailboxes :0: * ^X-Mailing-List-Name: \/[^@]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` # Majordomo uses Sender header to tell when it is coming from :0: * ^Sender: owner-\/[^@]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^Delivered-To: mailing list \/[^@]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-Mailing-List: <\/[^@]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-Loop: \/[^@]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-List-ID: <\/[^@\.]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-list: \/[^@\.]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` :0: * ^X-BeenThere: \/[^@]+ lists/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[\/]/_/g'` > Sort by subject/thread in your favorite mail client. Sort by thread, sorting by subject is kind of a wash on d-u. -- Paul Johnson baloo@ursine.ca http://ursine.ca/~baloo/
