I am getting a weekly list message, with a predictable subject and the

it out and deliver a duplicate to another users INBOX. Should this be
done from /etc/procmailrc, or ~/.procmailrc?
If the message is coming to you, you should do it from your .procmailrc
file. The /etc/procmailrc should in general only include recipes that
should be applied to every user's messages.
I am using Cyrus deliver to actually drop the message into the imap
INBOX, so I don't know if I can do it from ~/.procmailrc.
Just forward the message to them and let the MTA deal with it. Don't try
to deliver directly to their INBOX.
Next, since I haven't picked up the finer points of recipe writing, I
really just don't know where to begin.
Read the procmailex(5) manpage. You'll want a recipe that looks
something like:
:0 c
* ^Subject:.*whatever here
! theother(_at_)persons(_dot_)address(_dot_)here
So does this perform a 'forward' or a 'bounce'. I have to admit I
don't understand all the implications of either, but I know the bounce
is 'cleaner' for lack of a better one word description.
Thanks for the help
Lou
