I just migrated to Gnus -- for mail and news -- and I love it. However, I just realized today that my mail splitting has been sending 50% of my e-mail to mail.junk (for seemingly no reason). This is legitimate e-mail, and if it weren't a holiday and I weren't having fetchmail save all e-mails on the server and then double checking it with Evolution I would really be in a stew. Below is my .gnus for mail splitting: ,----[ mail splitting rules in my .gnus ]----------------------------------- | | (setq nnmail-split-methods | '( | ;; for all the mailing lists I subscribe to I'll have an entry like this: | ("mail.mysql_listserv" "^To:.*mysql@lists.mysql.com.*") | ("mail.mysql_listserv" "^Cc:.*mysql@lists.mysql.com.*") | ("mail.mysql_listserv" "^Bcc:.*mysql@lists.mysql.com.*") | ;; send junk email to /dev/null | ("mail.junk" "^To:.*vim@vim.org.*") | ("mail.junk" "^From:.*@yahoo-inc.com.*") | ;; these last lines are supposed to be a catch all for | ;; any e-mails addressed to me so they don't go to mail.junk | ;; I used to have an entry like: | ;; ("mail.unfiltered" "") | ;; but it still didn't work | ("mail.unfiltered" "^To:.*dan@mathjunkies.com.*") | ("mail.unfiltered" "^Cc:.*dan@mathjunkies.com.*") | ("mail.unfiltered" "^Bcc:.*dan@mathjunkies.com.*") | )) `---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What am I doing wrong? It's really weird. Virus e-mails (like the "Security Update From Microsoft") have a tendency to get through, but seemingly random e-mails will get dropped to junk. For instance, the mySQL listserv will have 25% of its e-mails sent to junk and the rest correctly put in the mysql_listserv. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help, Dan
