Just wanted to say thanks for the pointers I picked off in your dialogs. I have never had the need to filter e-mail on my machine until the 800 or so "gifts" I retrieved yesterday (ie. never gave procmail a second thought). One command... man procmail and poof much much info and pointers. Then... man procmailex and I'm well on the way to some very useful and powerful methods for dealing with my e-mail. Hmmmm, maybe I just thought I didn't have a need to process my e-mail ;-). Thanks, Mike On Mon, 11 Jan 1999, Michael Perry wrote:

I did the same thing. First thing this morning. But how many of these damn mail processing recipes are we going to have to add? It's out of hand, cause we are starting to get these mailloops over and over again. There has to be a change in the way the list is handled, I think. This is the only list where this is happening so frequently, that I belong to.
I think what is needed is "attention" from suse. Managing a mailing list should be a daily activity that a person undertakes. I did this and minimized the disturbances for an OS/2 word processing list I managed. I also have written a few new recipes. Writing recipes is not the answer, per se. What is the answer is more attention and maintenance activities from SuSE or someone they designate to support the list. At least now I have refined my recipe writing skills. And I have seen the man 5 procmailex pages a few times as well as some web pages. I would like to thank the developer of procmail at this point!!
