.procmailrc recipe
here is the basis for what I want as a procmail recipe
FGREP=/usr/bin/fgrep
FROM='formail -x From:'
:0
* ^X-Sender-Verify:.*could not be verified
!* ? (echo "$FROM" | $FGREP -i -f $HOME/ok
!junkmail
(taken from http://handsonhowto.com - thank you very much btw - got me most of the way to what I want)
what I want to do is junk any emails with the 'could not be verified' string in header if not in the ok file. I want to be able to enter generic addresses such as *@easyjet.com
will the above recipe work and continue to process other recipes for such an email.
If I have this request in the wrong section , let me know - it's the nearest I could find - thanks

the concept i have is
* ^X-Sender-Verify:.*could not be verified
if the heading X-Sender-Verify indicates that the email cannot be verified
!* ? (echo "$FROM" | $FGREP -i -f $HOME/ok
and the sender is not in the accepted list
!junkmail
dump it to junkmail
otherwise accept and process as normal - sending it to the desired recipient with a later recipe
hence the !
and I'm ok with that, (or at least It seems logical to me)
the problem I am trying to resolve, is that if my $HOME/ok file conains exact matches, then it will work,
but what I want is to find a match with fgrep/another program
that will match newsletter@easyjet.com in $FROM with *@easyjet.com in the ok file, and this is the bit I am struggling with

Try something similar to:
FROM='formail -x From:'|/bin/cut -f1 -d'@'
FROM=@$FROM
FROM='formail -x From:'|/bin/cut -f1 -d'@'
FROM=@$FROM

with file ok containing
@easyjet.com
when I type fgrep -i "jet.com" ok
it echos the line @easyjet.com , cos jet.com is in @easyjet.com
what I want is the reverse check where I check for the existanse of the line in the file within my pattern entry. is there such a command?
