In lieu of the recent spams and questions regarding majordomo
possibly being able to ignore certain address, something came to mind and
I'm wondering if it can be done or not. Here's what I'm thinking about.
What if one aliases all his lists to 1 address...
for example: alias the lists 'test', 'web', 'junk' to the same
box called 'mdlist'.
(and since mail to a list gets handed over to an '-outgoing'
alias, there /shouldn't/ be any looping, then again, I may be
wrong.)
Have procmail process each incoming mail to 'mdlist' and using
'procmail's' ability to filter incoming mail before delivering them to the
respective lists.
Right now I have something setup on my personal mailbox where
email coming in from a specific address gets bounced (because they can't
get their mailer to quit sending the same message over and over again) and
other email gets filtered out before being delivered to an archival
program while yet others are just plainly being delivered into separate
mail-files or my INBOX.
I'm sure there would be some problems somewhere that someone can
think of, which is why I'm asking. Is this a feasable solution to filter
out unwanted crap?
