changing headers upon forwarding

2003-09-09 10:23:27
Hello -

I forward the e-mails arriving at account#1 to account#2. Sometimes, however, the host of account#2 is down for some time and the senders of e-mails get an error message. People don't know about account#2 and shall not, and the whole thing of receiving a bounce from an address they don't know with an e-mail addressed to me confuses them.

So, I thought of adding a Reply-To: address to forwarded e-mails, which should act as a "collector" for any error bounces. I came up with two versions of the recipe, and I'd like to ask you to comment on whether the "Reply-To:" idea would work in general and which of my two approaches is the correct one.

Version 1:
:0 c
* !^X-Loop: name(_at_)account1\(_dot_)com
| (formail -rI "Reply-To: name(_at_)account1(_dot_)com" \
                -A "X-Loop: name(_at_)account1(_dot_)com") | ! 
name(_at_)account2(_dot_)com


Version 2:
:0
* !^X-Loop: name(_at_)account1\(_dot_)com
{
        :0
        | (formail -I "Reply-To: name(_at_)account1(_dot_)com" \
                -A "X-Loop: name(_at_)account1(_dot_)com")
                
        :0 c
        ! name(_at_)account2(_dot_)com
}

Thanks in advance!

CU,
Nick
