Message no. 1 I'm trying to get the elm filter for this to work and I'm having trouble
getting the right rule. What I want to do is save all messages from the list
to a mailbox called shadowrn. Has anyone gotten this to work with elm-filter?

You want to seach by who the message is TO. For shadowRN mail, the to
line reads some thing like:
Multiple recipients of list SHADOWRN

Your filter-rules entry would look like:
if (to "Multiple recipients of list SHADOWRN") ? save
"path/to/folder"

Then, all ShadowRN mail would be sorted into the folder you specify,
while other mail would pass through into your normal inbox.

NOTE: Because it does a regular expression search, yyou must make sure
that you do not shorten the match expression. If you sorted by:
'Multiple recipients of'

Then all lists would match, becuase filter doesn't match exactly, just if
the expression you define is contained in the field you search.

Message no. 5 The most reliable filter for Shadowrun mail is (on Unix systems) to key
off what the 'From ' line address ends with; for Shadowrn mail, this is
'.*nic.surfnet.nl!owner-shadowrn' (in regexp notation) right now.
Checking the 'From ' line will avoid problems with people resending
you mail and obscure error cases; From: can be fooled.

Not that this is real relevant to Shadowrun; my apologies. Send private
mail if you want to talk about procmail and/or mail filtering.
