I need a rule to filter debian-user into a seperate maildir. I know
there's the header:
X-Maling-List: <debian-user...
so I tried:
* ^X-Mailing-List: <debian-user.*
/home/bijan/Maildir/.lists.debian/
and several variations, but none of them worked.
Thank in advance,
Bijan

If you aren't wedded to procmail for some other reason, then maybe
maildrop would be more to your liking, since it has a much simpler
syntax. Here's my maildrop rule for filtering d-u mails:
if ( /^X-Mailing-List:.*<debian-user@lists.debian.org>*/ )
{
to "Maildir/.Lists.Debian.User.2008q3"
}

According to man procmailrc, if a "mailbox" name ends with a /, it is
taken as a maildir folder. Is that what you had in mind?

You may have done that already, but just in case you had not. It can help when writing the recipes.
So, with that in mind, the following should work equally as well:
:0
*^List-Id:*lists.debian.org
.lists.debian/
The lack of the second colon at the start of the recipe is important when using Maildir format - it prevents the locking feature of procmail which is generally used for mbox format. Also, as others have pointed, don't miss the trailing slash which tells procmail to create the mailbox in Maildir format.
But, as recipes go these are really basic. Procmail is complex so it's worth spending some time reading up on it.
HTH,
Jamie

Isn't this going to miss all those posts that are Cc'd to debian-user?
(I have no idea of procmail rules, I prefer maildrop)

For completeness, that's not much less complex (aka line noise) than
my procmail rule, and mine splits each debian list into its own mbox,
and handles newsfroup backscatter:
# ------------------------------------
# debian-${MATCH}
#
# The MATCH operator / matches whatever the regexp that follows
# it matches.
#
:0
* 1^0 ^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-/[a-z.-]*
* 1^0 ^Newsgroups:.*debian./[a-z.-]*
* 1^0 ^Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org
{
LOG="debian-${MATCH} - "
:0:
00.debian
}
I've been recommending noobs try maildrop first for years. Procmail
may be a howitzer where a shiv is needed. :-)

Describe your understanding of "worked". Have you set VERBOSE=yes in
your .procmailrc? What's the log file say happened?
