Thanks! I'll splice this in tonight and, hopefully, will not have to be part of the captive audience for Karl's infernal surrogate-blog. <div>On 8/27/07, Todd Zullinger <<a href="mailto:tmz@pobox.com">tmz@pobox.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Peter Connolly wrote: > Finally, Todd, since it's obvious that Karl's prattle will never > end, I'd be interested if you ever got that thread-killer working... Here's a start, though there are surely still rough edges and broken parts. You get both pieces if it breaks. Stick these recipes somewhere in your procmail config: :0 W * ? formail -x"From" -x"From:" -x"Sender:" -x"Reply-To:" -x"Return-Path:" \ | egrep -is -f $HOME/.procmail/killfile { # add it to the killthread cache if it's not a reply :0 Wic: killthread.lock * ? formail -c -x 'References' -x 'In-Reply-To' | grep -s . | formail -D 40960 $HOME/.procmail/killthread.cache :0 /dev/null } # get rid of any threads started by people in the killfile :0 * ? thread-kill /dev/null (You'll want to change /dev/null to a mailbox for testing probably.) The thread-kill script is just a hackish shell script: #!/bin/bash function check_msgid() { cat | formail -c -x 'References' -x 'In-Reply-To' | \ for i in $(awk '{split($0, a); for (i in a) {print a[i]}}'); do if grep "$i" ~/.procmail/killthread.cache &>/dev/null; then echo 1 break fi done } [ "`check_msgid`" == "1" ] && exit 0 || exit 1 I'd be happy to hear about any improvements you make make to it. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp">www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp</a> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every time I close the door on reality, it comes in through the windows. -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote></div>
