Re: [Lurker-users] All lists come out identical

OK so its all based on the mail box.
So I should be able to use procmail to sort the mailbox into list boxes and
then index the list boxes separately ?

The -l option controls where the mail is indexed.

Here's your problem: you indexed all mail to every list.

You should make a different email address for each mailing list.
lurker-commits, lurker-software, lurker-support
Subscribe them to each list individually.
Then, you run lurker-index -l commits only over the mail delivered to
lurker-commits.

There is no reliable information INSIDE an email regarding its
eventual delivery. Thus, lurker indexes a message based on the account
where it arrived.
