T.I.L. Mail filtering with procmail-lib and better procmail docs

1 pointsby BjornWalmost 14 years ago
So today I started to fix my annoyances with procmail, but since procmail uses IMHO a very arcane syntax it usually takes a long time to do the things I want (such as automatic mailinglist filtering).<p>I use procmail to filter my mail on the server, so I don't have to access the mail with an (imap) client first to get it sorted. I use it mostly to keep my personal and business mail separated from mailinglists. The latter wasn't working well enough and resulted sometimes in mail being delivered to the wrong mailbox.<p>Thanks to the procmail-lib project[1] and the procmail documentation project[2] it now works a lot better and I understand the horrible procmail syntax a bit better!<p>Thanks Jari Aalto for all your hard work invested in these projects!<p>[1] https://github.com/jaalto/project--procmail-lib [2] https://github.com/jaalto/project--procmail-doc
