Well, yeah; the point was that we don't need mutt's cool features here since the mail interface isn't doing the encrypting. % % > Above all, of course, is the question HAVE YOU TRIED IT FIRST? ;-) % % No, I haven't tried it. I guess I'll have to play around and *grin* % try a few things. In fact, I need two different solutions. One % as the above to send out some files via cron. % % The second is a bit more complicated. The command will be % placed in /etc/aliases as an alias for a local user. All mail % to that user should be encrypted with one of my public keys Will the mail also be delivered to the user, or are you just doing a fancy version of a .forward file? % and forwarded to me. I've allready installed procmail which % seems to be a better solution than /etc/aliases. It's at least simpler. It should be easy enough to implement, too; you could probably encrypt the whole thing and also wrap it in a MIME header that says it's an RFC822 message and mutt would read it pretty transparently. I dunno how the mix of MIME and not-MIME would work, but experimentation should answer that for you. % % Cheers, Rocco.
