Jeremy This is how I did it:
set sendmail = "/home/eric/bin/get_subject_and_send.sh" $ cat /home/eric/bin/get_subject_and_send.sh #!/bin/bash cat /dev/stdin| tee >(SUBJECT=`formail -z -x Subject`;echo "^Subject:.*$SUBJECT">>/home/eric/serialised_subjects;echo perl -ni -e \"print if not /$SUBJECT/ \" /home/eric/serialised_subjects|at now +50 days | /usr/lib/sendmail -t -oem -oi -f eric.sm...@trustfood.org It passes my tests. Now I just need conditional define and undefine of the sendmail var. This is nice to use to white list mail in spam filtering. You might want to set a condition to only run the script when Subject: is longer than n chars.
