Re(3): [fetchmail] Forward mail to remote server?

2003-01-16 15:28:43
I know this is outside the scope of this list, but you bring up a good
point...

If I set the last record in my procmailrc to match "anything", it will
catch all the stuff that doesn't match the above rules, right?  Therefore
I can pass it to my sendmail-like SMTP wrapper, that sends directly
out via SMTP, and have it pass to the firstclass server, eh?  Any
thoughts on how to do that?

It is off topic, so if anyone has a suggestion, please e-mail me 
privately. 

Thanks!

Bad mail gets filtered into one box for viewing/approval, the rest

So why don't you just forward them via SMTP? Using multidrop-pop3 is
always a crook, using it for 1200 is really braindead. Would be really
funny if you use a bsd-mailbox for storing the messages.
But since that was surely not what you wanted to hear...

Filtering is all done on the UNIX box - procmail is doing the filtering.

If I had a good way to pass the good messages out of procmail,
and send them along directly via SMTP, thats what I'd LOVE to
do, and keep the "good" mailbox out of the equation all together.

Isn't there some way I can make fetchmail take the mail out of the
good mail box, deliver it via SMTP to firstclass without rewriting
ANYTHING?

defaults
protocol pop3
envelope Envelope-to:    (or whatever your MTA uses)
localdomains your_domain
no dns
no rewrite
fetchall
smtphost firstclass

poll your_pop3 user your_user pass your_pass is * here


Running sendmail, so Envelope-to: should be fine.

THANKS!
