As long as we're talking about this list and filters, I just joined
this list and I made sure I had a mailfilter going *before I even
joined*. I mean come on people, there's always going to be noise on a
mailing list. Filtering it is better then complaining about it.
I recommend (highly highly highly) procmail, since it can do
everything under the sun. My procmailrc file (or a watered down
version thereof) is...
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/proclog # recommended
LOCKEXT=.procmaillock
LOGABSTRACT=all # while debugging, make it log a lot
:0:
* ^TO.*maxmax
ibm_junk
:0:
* ^TOdebian-user
debian-user
:0:
* ^From.*jomsteve
from_me
But of course, now I'm not talking about debian specific stuff
anymore.
