Hello,

I know that there are several recipes, both in the archives of this
list and elsewhere, to do the following:

	if (From _or_ To _or_ Sender == [*]-list-admin@somewhere.com)

	then save message to folder $1 (where $1 is the part in square
					brackets above)

This is *very* good because it spares from writing one recipe per
list. I want to do this, but...
Quite often I don't like the "official" list name. For example, I
would like to put messages from "list-post:
iscuss@openoffice.org into an OOO folder, or stuff from
anaconda-devel-list-admin@redhat.com into a "custom_redhat" folder.

In other words, I'd like a generic way to bind a generic string to an
unrelated one.
If this where Perl, I would build an associative array:

%FOLDER_NAMES = (
	'discuss@openoffice.org', 'OOO',
	'anaconda-devel-list-admin@redhat.com', 'custom_redhat',

	.....
);

and change the "save message to folder" line above to:

	save message to folder $FOLDER_NAMES{$1}

How do I do this in procmail? (Some days ago I *did* search with google
both in the archives and on the Internet, to no avail)

	TIA, and of course Merry Christmas

		Marco Fioretti
