Thats why I always sign up for mailing lists with an address like: jason+freebsd@kanda.com The procmail recipe becomes very straightforward and virtually infallable: :0: * $EXTENSION ?? freebsd freebsd It also has a few other advantages. 1. When I unsubscribe from a mailing list I can switch off the address, which is great if the e-mail addresses have been harvested for spamming. 2. Anyone who replies to my messages on or off list will also end up in that mailbox. (avoiding the CC problem above), if I want further corresponance in my main inbox I just adjust my reply address. This works with postfix+procmail. Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
