Just my $HOME/.forward file. I'm using sendmail as my MTA, so
[EMAIL PROTECTED] msoulier]$ cat .forward
| /home/msoulier/bin/mailfilter
A pipe to the script invokes the filter.
I do a lot of Perl development for work, and I find procmail recipes hard
to read. I know, if I can read Perl regexps, I can read procmail, but it's
just easier to do it in Perl. Fun too. ;-)
I can include the entire script if you like. You'll need Mail::Internet
and Mail::Audit before you can use it, but you can grab those off the CPAN.
