Procmail skipping

I use this recipe to filter my mailing list traffic.

:0
* ^(List-Id|(X-)?Mailing-List|X-List):\/.*
{
LISTID=$MATCH

:0
* LISTID ?? ^.*[<]\/[^@>\.]*
.lists.$MATCH/

:0
* LISTID ?? ^\/[^@\.]*
.lists.$MATCH/
}



Unfortunately I've noticed mail not arriving (Skipped) from
docbook-help and apache-users mailing list manager.

Can someone suggest a better recipe?

When you extract the MATCH, you have a space
> procmail: Matched " contact users-help"
When the delivery attempt is made it sees a mailbox as ".lists. contact
users-help/"
You should have a mailbox named .lists. which will contain these messages.

or you could have DIR=`echo $LISTID|sed -e 's/ /_/g'`
This will replace spaces with underscores and should resolve your issue.

Re: Procmail skipping

Thank you! Though .lists.contact_users-help is yucky. :(

It was matching this silly line:

Mailing-List: contact users-help@httpd.apache.org; run by ezmlm

I've updated my procmail which tries to create Maildir folders for each
mailing list:


:0
* ^(List-Id|(X-)?Mailing-List|X-List):\/.*
{
LISTID=`echo $MATCH|sed -e 's/ /_/g'`

:0
* LISTID ?? ^.*[<]\/[^@>\.]*
.lists.$MATCH/

:0
* LISTID ?? ^\/[^@\.]*
.lists.$MATCH/
}

If you want the location to be of the mbox type, you need to remove the
terminating / in .lists.$MATCH

if you wish to only use the username part of the mailing list, you could
strip the contact by placing the following -e 's/ contact //' as the
first replacement rule for sed.

There are different ways to manipulate the extracted data into a format
you want prior to making any delivery attempts.
