Re: [TCLUG:14716] mail filtering

["Andrew S. Zbikowski" <andyzib@ringworld.org>]

Here's a chopped up version of my ~/.procmailrc

MAILDIR=$HOME/mail/
:0:
* ^TOtclug
tclug

:0:
* ^TOtclug-jobs
tclug-jobs

:0:
* ^From.*awebster@ringworld.org
FromAmy

#creative opensource
:0:
* ^TO.*@opensource.creative.com
creative-opensource

#work e-mail
:0:
* ^TO.andyzb@*
MnInterNet

# Some Spam Filters
:0:
* ^Subject.*free
SPAM

:0:
* ^Subject.*sex
SPAM

:0:
* ^Subject.*porn
SPAM


The basic form is
:0:
*^WhatToSearch.*searchString
FolderToStickIt (/dev/null works =)

Then just subscribe to those folders and you're off and running.
