hi. i want to allow root from a particular host to post. i edited the daemon_bias to read daemon_bias='100^1 ^From.*root@metatel.*' and the log seems to indicate that there is a positive match: procmail: Score: 200 200 "^From.*root@metatel.*" and then subtracted because it was from root: procmail: Score: -100 100 "(^(((Resent-)?(From|Sender)|X-Envelope-From):|

?From )([^>]*[^(.%@a-z0-9])?(Post(ma(st(er)?|n)|office)|(send)?Mail(er)?|daemon |mmdf|n?uucp|ops|r(esponse|oot)|(bbs\.)?smtp(error)?|s(erv(ices?|er)|ystem)|A(dm in(istrator)?|MMGR))(([^).!:a-z0-9][-_a-z0-9]*)?[%@> ][^<)]*(\(.*\).*)?)?$([ ^>]|$))|^(((Resent-)?(From|Sender)|X-Envelope-From):|>?From )([^>]*[^(.%@a-z0-9] )?(LIST(SERV|proc)|NETSERV|bounce|autoanswer|echo|mirror)(([^).!:a-z0-9][-_a-z0- 9]*)?[%@> ][^<)]*(\(.*\).*)?)?$([^>]|$)"

but still left with a positive score: procmail: Score: 1 101 "" the message still gets bounced to the maintainer with the following error: X-Diagnostic: Mail coming from a daemon, ignored any ideas? -r -- echo "send pgp key" | mail ravi@cow.org ; lynx http://cow.org ; echo "!gc" "Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing." -- Albert Einstein -- echo "send pgp key" | mail ravi@cow.org ; lynx http://cow.org ; echo "!gc" Why can't you make another word using all the letters in "anagram"?
