#acl PaulHowarth:read,write,admin,revert,delete All:read

=== Tuesday 2nd May 2006 ===

==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `gtkwave` to 3.0.0. The version bump should clear up any confusion there may be about the currently-maintained branch of the code (2.x is ''dead''). The new version bundles some contributed code, which needed Makefile tweaks to get it to build cleanly using %{optflags} and the system `zlib`/`bzip2` libraries.

==== Fedora Extras ====

 * Updated `gtkwave` to 3.0.0

==== Mail Server ====

Started doing server-side mail filtering using `procmail` in conjunction with the `dovecot` IMAP server.

In my main `.procmailrc`, I have a line near the top:
{{{
# Try out server-side filtering for mailing lists
INCLUDERC=filter-mailing-lists}}}

And the `filter-mailing-list` file contains a bunch of recipes like this:
{{{
# Server-side filter for Paul's mailing lists

# Save MAILDIR
OLDMAILDIR=$MAILDIR

# Folders are relative to here
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail/inbox

# fedora-list
:0
* ^List-Id:.*fedora-list\.redhat\.com
.Linux.fedora-list/

# fedora-devel-list
:0
* ^List-Id:.*fedora-devel-list\.redhat\.com
.Linux.fedora-devel-list/

# ... more of the same ...

# Restore MAILDIR
MAILDIR=$OLDMAILDIR}}}

Works very nicely, and means that I can turn off all client-side filtering so that:
 i. I get to read my mail sooner, and
 i. I don't need to set up a bunch of new filters every time I try a new mail client (e.g. when visiting my brother-in-law last month and using his computer).
