7/2     Every time alexf sends something to csua lists he does it in a way that
        breaks my procmail rules. Why not just send mail TO csua@csua?
        \_ Isn't there a newsgroup that mirrors csua@csua? Just read that.
        \_ How about:
           :0
           * ^TOalexf@hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu
           /dev/null
           \_ Help yourself. Procmail is your friend. Just don't flame me when
              I forward information pertinent to undergrads to csUa@csUa. I
              would also recommend unsubscribing from csua@csua if you are
              so upset by relatively relevant messages. Oh, and for the
              record, if anyone has a rational argument for why any
              particular message I send to a public mailing list is
              inappropriate to that list, they're more than welcome to
              email me personally about it and their comments WILL be
              considered (rather than /dev/null'ed). -alexf
        \_ Or how about you EMAIL me and ASK, instead of whining about it
           on the motd? I _can_ actually listen to these things you know.
           I happenned to be following the conventions of several other
           mailing lists that were on BCC for that message, and was not aware
           of the fact that people have filters that break without an explicit
           To/CC. Next message to csua@csua from me [whenever that will be]
           will be via explicit CC. -alexf
           \_ don't listen to them alexf. the first guy could use some
              procmail clue and the second guy is just a dumbass. you're
              doing a fine job.
              \_ I want to have your baby, alex
                 \_ I _did_ have your baby, alex.  I want child support.
                    \_ I _AM_ your baby alex, and I want child support too.

1/26    Can somebody show me a procmail rule which drops email from
        users {foo, bar, baz}@{host1,host2,host3}.berkeley.edu.

4/17    How do I get procmail to delete emails with things like
        ^Viiiaaaagggrrra in the message body.  ^V then i+ then a+ ...
        \- a better rule would be to check for the language type, and
           if it's undeterminable or has too many misspellings then
           it's most likely spam email. ps i'm gay ok thx.
