The procmail maillist list isn't working for me... may be down. So I'll try here.. Basically I want search for key terms only after stripping the HTML from the message because many spammers split up words with fake html tags, ie vi<ewgfweg>agr<grwj>a. The sed trick strips out all html-like tags. Cool. Except I'm trying to figure out a way to un-do the stripping if the words I'm looking for isn't in the body of the message after all. So far the stripped message gets delivered to the mailbox regardless. I need to do something like this: preserve_copy_of_message_here :0fwb | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba' :0B * (v'agra) { OBSCENE_=adult-trap :0 /dev/null } if OBSCENE is set, then do nothing cause message went to /dev/null, else send the original message to the mailbox.
