Hi,

Here are a few sections of my ~/.procmailrc:


        ## LDM's procmail file
        MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
        VERBOSE=on
        LOGABSTRACT=yes
        ## pseudo variable $1 can't be used on condition line: copy the value 
to ARG
        EXTENSION=$1

        ALTERNATES=(all\.my\.mail@addresses|separated@by\.pipes)

        ## all mailing list mail comes in as vindex+lists-<listname>@apartia.org
        ## EXTENSION thus contains the list name
        :0
        * EXTENSION ?? ^lists-\/.*
        {
                FOLDER=$MATCH

                :0
                *$! ^From:.*$ALTERNATES
                *$! ^TO_$ALTERNATES
                * ! ^References:.*\<(some|of|my|domains)\>
                * ! ^From:.*@(other|patterns|to|watch|for)\
                * ! HB ?? (Louis-David|Mitt?err?and) ## skip if message has my 
name
                {
                        # eliminate duplicate list messages 
                        :0 Wh: $HOMEMAIL/.msgid.lock
                        | formail -D 32768 $HOMEMAIL/.msgid.cache

                        :0
                        .$FOLDER/
                }
                :0E ## else file in .BCC
                * ! ^From: mailman-owner@
                .BCC/
                :0E ## if from mailman-owner

        ## not in To: header, low-priority stuff

        { }
        :0E ## trick to OR inverted above conditions 
        .BCC/

        ## beep, it goes into INBOX
