I noticed that postings to this mailing list kept landing in my personal
mbox rather than in ~/inboxes/lists, the way mailing lists ought to, on
my system. 'WTF?', I thought. 'Why aren't my procmail rules catching
the X-BeenThere or X-Loop or X-Mailing-List/Mailing-List headers?'
And then I remembered: Right, Ruben's still using procmail, which
completely fails to implement mailing list headers required by RFCs
after 2000 because it's been unmaintained proprietary code since about
2000.
I've just appended a new special-case match to catch Hangout, as shown
below. (Notice that we have to look for owner-hangout-at-brklyn.com, even
though this is the hangout-at-nylxs.com mailing list, because the two
domains are still muddled together.)
I hope the recipe is useful to others.
Quoting from .procmailrc:
------
### LIST CATCHALLS
:0
* ^X-BeenThere:*
$HOME/inboxes/lists
:0
* ^X-Loop:*
$HOME/inboxes/lists
:0
* ^X-Mailing-List:*
$HOME/inboxes/lists
:0
* ^Mailing-List:*
$HOME/inboxes/lists
### LISTS THAT NEED SPECIAL PATTERNS
:0
* ^Sender: owner-hangout-at-mrbrklyn.com
$HOME/inboxes/lists
------
Above is not a particularly good ruleset, just good enough to suffice on
mailing lists received here. These are said to be better:
