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.
