Hi,

please send me every mail only once.

Of course. I will outline my files (as I use more than one), please ask whatever I leave unclear and please suggest improvements.

I start with main.md (linked from ~/.mailfilter), which is basically: - - - Schnipp - - - include "$HOME/.mutt/lists.md" include "$HOME/.mutt/spam.md" to $IN - - - Schnapp - - -

Later more on mailing lists, spam.md is as follows: - - - Schnipp - - - if ($SIZE < 256000) { xfilter spamc }

if (/^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/) { EXITCODE = 99 exit }

if (/^X-Spam-Status: YES/) { to $spambox } - - - Schnapp - - -

This drops all spam level 10 and above and moves anything from 5 to 10 to $spambox.

My guess is that he meant the white space between if and the parenthesis. But give him more time to answer, it wasn't so long ago.

Never noticed something like that. Against Procmail, it's syntactic ointment.

I store mailing lists in a simple database created by a Ruby program: - - - Schnipp - - - #! /usr/bin/ruby -w

require 'gdbm'

GDBM.open("/path/to/your/list.db") { |gdbm| gdbm['cour...@lists.sourceforge.net'] = 'Maildrop' } - - - Schnapp - - -

For more lists, just add more lines like the one on Maildrop, then run the program. You need to re-run it if you add new lists.

After that, it's a breeze thanks to Maildrop GDBM support: - - - Schnipp - - - gdbmopen("/path/to/your/list.db")

foreach /^(To|Cc): .*/ { foreach (getaddr($MATCH)) =~ /.+/ { listbox = gdbmfetch(tolower($MATCH)) if ($listbox ne "") { to $MAILDIR/ML/$listbox } } }

gdbmclose - - - Schnapp - - -

I left a few details out, but that should basically work for you.
