I'll have to give the second rule a whirl and see how that goes. A number of emails were trapped, but they were all legitimate emails.

Hopefully it'll work fine! Thanks David, I’ve added that first rule in and I’ll keep an eye on that text file. Hopefully it’ll work fine!

Use the following instead: <code> :0: * ^FROM_DAEMON POSTMASTER.txt </code> Procmail should substitute the FROM_DAEMON for a very long and hairy regexp which should catch just about every variety of DSN there is. In case you want to see something which at first glance looks like line noise, here's the scary regexp: <code> (^(Mailing-List:|Precedence:.*(junk|bulk|list)|To: Multiple recipients of |(((Resent-)?(From|Sender)|X-Envelope-From):|>?From )([^>]*[^(.%@a-z0-9])?(Post(ma?(st(e?r)?|n)|office)|(send)?Mail(er)? |daemon|m(mdf|ajordomo)|n?uucp|LIST(SERV|proc)|NETSERV|o(wner|ps) |r(e(quest|sponse)|oot)|b(ounce|bs\.smtp)|echo|mirror|s(erv(ices?|er) |mtp(error)?|ystem)|A(dmin(istrator)?|MMGR|utoanswer))(([^).!:a- z0-9][-_a-z0-9]*)?[%@>\t ][^]|$))) </code> (That's straight from the man page of Procmail) Good recovery there, but the Procmail rule for catching DSNs is likely to match some (not all contain that subject).

Use the following instead:


:0:
* ^FROM_DAEMON
POSTMASTER.txt

Procmail should substitute the FROM_DAEMON for a very long and hairy regexp which should catch just about every variety of DSN there is.

In case you want to see something which at first glance looks like line noise, here’s the scary regexp:


(^(Mailing-List:|Precedence:.*(junk|bulk|list)|To: Multiple recipients of |(((Resent-)?(From|Sender)|X-Envelope-From):|>?From )([^>]*[^(.%@a-z0-9])?(Post(ma?(st(e?r)?|n)|office)|(send)?Mail(er)? |daemon|m(mdf|ajordomo)|n?uucp|LIST(SERV|proc)|NETSERV|o(wner|ps) |r(e(quest|sponse)|oot)|b(ounce|bs\.smtp)|echo|mirror|s(erv(ices?|er) |mtp(error)?|ystem)|A(dmin(istrator)?|MMGR|utoanswer))(([^).!:a-
z0-9][-_a-z0-9]*)?[%@>\t ][^]|$)))

(That’s straight from the man page of Procmail)
