[TriLUG] Re: simple mail filter. best option?

[Cristobal Palmer]

Many thanks to Nathan Conrad for showing me how it's done in procmail:

--install procmail
--add this line to /etc/postfix/main.cf :
'mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail'
--assuming we don't want to drop rejected mail to /dev/null, we should
make a /var/log/procmail dir and set up a rotation for .junk files
--make an /etc/procmailrc file:

:0
* ^To:.*foo at bar.com
{
:0
* !^From:.*@foo.com
/var/log/procmail/foo.junk
}

:0
* ^To:.*baz at bar.com
{
:0
* !^From:.*@baz.com
/var/log/procmail/baz.junk
}

--??
--Profit!
