the majority of my procmail rules end up being for filtering out mailing lists into various folders. there seem to be four basic mailing list systems in wide spread use: ezml, majordomo, listserv (less now though) and mailman. so a general way of filtering each could be easily worked out.
Oh yes, they're quite easy to filter out in Gnus. The basic gist of it is:- ; once without ; RFC-compliant ("list-post" "mailto:\\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\)@\\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\)\\..*" "list.\\2.\\1") ; ezmlm ("delivered-to" "mailing list \\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\)@\\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\)\\..*" "list.\\2.\\1") ; mailman ("list-id" ".*<\\(.+?\\)\\.\\(.+?\\)\\..*" "list.\\2.\\1") ; listar ("x-list-id" ".*<\\(.+?\\)\\.\\(.+?\\)\\..*" "list.\\2.\\1") ; lyris ("x-mailing-list" "\\b\\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\)\\b.\\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\)\\..*" "list.\\2.\\1") ; majordomo ("sender" ".*owner-\\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\).\\([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+\\).*" "list.\\2.\\1") Of course, this won't be the final form for mymailfilter (or whatever it ends up being called). I'm thinking of something a bit more versatile than just plain triples. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services? Why not talk to my employers?
