egroups

Have you ever had to subscribe to one of the egroup mailing lists?
Have you ever felt annoyed about their silly advertisements?
Are you on a system that can process your mail via procmail?
Then this is the program for you.

Grab the program and place it in an appropriate directory such as /usr/local/bin. Then add (or create) a .procmailrc file to add a rule which looks like: 

               :0 fbw
               * ^To:.*@egroups.com
               | /usr/local/bin/egroups

You may need to do something to get procmail to recognize this file, but on current Linux systems, the above step is all you need.

You can pick up the entire archive for version v0.02. This contains all of the files mentioned on this page.

Once you have the tar file, you will need to extract and build it. Do something like the following: 

	cd
	mkdir egroups
	tar xvfz egroups-0.02.tar.gz
	cd egroups-0.02
	make
	su
	make install
