Hi Jase,

Welcome to BEST from CRL. How do you like it? :)

The only way I've been able to solve the mailing list problem with
procmail is to special case the To address of the mailing list. Unfortunately,
I think that's the best we can do, other than getting an extra $5/month
POP mailbox service from BEST.

I have a modified version of popclient that does that.  I thought that the
original author was a best person...  In any case it does a pretty good job
of finding the desired target.  I can make the source available in my ftp
space if anyone likes...

Dude, you should just set your Reply-To: field up.  I should think that your
newsreader would do the same thing...

You're receiving "blind copied" messages, yes?

AFAIK, you're screwed with bcc and procmail; tho' it would be wonderful
if someone knows different.

You might be able to filter the messages based on the From: and/or 
Subject: headers ......

Just write it like this:
	:0
	* ^.*eddy@enqueue.com
	! eddy@best.com

That will egrep the entire header for your virtual domain name. If
it's in a "Received:" field, or anywhere else in the header the
condition will match.

Well, on my account here at Best, I just do:


:0
rnoia@best.com
! someplaceelse

(notice the lack of ^TO)
and it greps the message for whatever and does not limit the search to
the "to" field.. and works quite well for me.
