Hi, I can configure/use Procmail as mail is passed to users
(with .forward, .procmailrc etc). However, I *can't
call procmail from a rule in Sendmail to use Procmail as a
general purpose mail filter (ie. before mail is passed on to
.procmailrc to users).
Thanks to those who've passed along info and advice (but it's
mainly been answers to a question I *haven't* asked).
Here's the part from the man page on Procmail that I can't
figure...
"The -m option is typically used when procmail is called
from within a rule in the sendmail.cf file. <snip>
This enables you to use rules like the following (most
likely in ruleset 0) to filter mail through the procmail
mailer (please note the leading tab to continue the rule,
and the tab to separate the comments):
R$*<@some.where>$*
$#procmail $@/etc/procmailrcs/some.rc $:$[EMAIL PROTECTED]$2
R$*<@$*.procmail>$*
$1<@$2>$3 Already filtered, map back
And /etc/procmailrcs/some.rc could be as simple as:
:0 # sink all junk mail
* ^Subject:.*junk
/dev/null
:0 # pass along all other mail
! -oi -f "$@"
ps. It's the rule in sendmail.cf part I need the help on, &
cheers for any,
