maildrop filter rule

Hi,

can anybody show me how to bulid a maildrop rule to do put a mail for
a special domain including a special flag to a special imap folder?

I know the recipient is stored in LOGNAME and I know how to stor in a
special folder but I don't know the "if" phrase.

if(/^X-VIRUS-STATUS:.*INFECTED/)
{
exception {
...
MAILDIR = $MAILDIR.Virus/
}
}

exception {
to "$MAILDIR"
}

What I really need is is the part checking for the domain: "if
domain.tld is in $LOGNAME then".

regards

Ronny Seffner

"Unlike procmail, maildrop uses a structured filtering
language that's a bit easier on the eyes."

Unlike procmail, I don't understand it. As for being "easier
on the eyes"? Who gives a fuck? (But first, who knows what that
even MEANS?)

And procmail's filtering language is certainly structured.

:0
* ^X-VIRUS-STATUS:.*INFECTED
{

:0
* ^To.*domain.tld
folder/

O:
different_folder/

}

If it has the X... header and it is to domain.ltd,
put it in that maildir folder under $MAILDIR.

If it isn't to domain..., then send it to a different
mailbox.

Hang loose. There's got to be a maildrop expert around here
somewhere.

Or you could switch to procmail. It's an ace program and does
everything in the maildrop description and there are experts
in its use crawling out of the woodwork, and more documentation
than you could ever read.

(Note: there's a punk troll around here. I don't read
its posts. Gotta million sock-puppets.)

You should use quotes here:

MAILDIR="$MAILDIR.Virus"

And the trailing slash is not required.

Presumably, something like this:

if ($LOGNAME =~ /@domain\.tld$/)

It really depends upon the actual format your recipients' addresses are
encoded in.

You also don't understand how to properly wipe yourself after taking a dump.

So, what's your point?

Anyone who is a real programmer, instead of a Beavis wanna-be.

And what kind of a structure would this be, Beavis?

And more, Beavis.

Really, Beavis? Cough up procmail's equivalent of the following. Take your
time.

gdbmopen("recipientmap.dat", "R")

foreach /^(To|Cc): .*/
{
foreach (getaddr $MATCH) =~ /.+/)
{
FOLDER=gdbmfetch(tolower($MATCH), "D")
if ($FOLDER ne "")
{
cc "Maildir/.$FOLDER"
}
}
}

to "Maildir"

Beavis, Tourette's syndrome can be treated with medication. Ask your
shrink.

If this rule should match on all mails for recepients in domain.tld I
would you use something like this:

if (/^X-VIRUS-STATUS:.*INFECTED/ && \
/^Envelope-to:.*domain\.tld$*/)
{
log '====> Virusinfected'
to $MAILDIR/.Virus
}

if your MTA sets an Envelope-to: header otherwise you could use a
similar headerline identifying domain.tld.
