[Esd-l] A little off-topic

[Michael Geier]

instead of:

* ^To:.troll@<domain>

try:

* TO_troll@<domain>



from * man procmailrc
	If the regular expression contains `^TO_' it will be substituted by


`(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):
(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)'

	which should catch all destination specifications containing a specific
address.

What if you put a procmail receipe in front of the sanitizer that shuffles
anything going to troll@<whatver> into the /dev/null file?  Something along
the lines of:

:0
* ^To:.*troll@<domain>
/dev/null
