receives all email addressed to anyone(_at_)nymug(_dot_)org so I can process
based on addressee.)
Can anyone give me an example of doing that or point out what's wrong
with my approach? Thanks.
Here's my apparently broken .procmailrc entry:
Did you set up a .forward file to trigger procmail?
Try this modification of your recipe...
:0h
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: nymug(_at_)cloud9(_dot_)net
* ^TOinfo(_at_)nymug\(_dot_)org
| (formail -r -A"Precedence: junk" \
-I"From: Black Star Publishing <info(_at_)nymug(_dot_)org>" \
-I"Subject:" In Response To Your Inquiry" \
-A"X-Loop: nymug(_at_)cloud9(_dot_)net" ; \
cat $HOME/info/info.txt) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
------------------
I'm assuming that your own $HOME directory is actually: /users/nymug/
and that you set up subdirectory info which contains the info.txt file?
Is this correct? A lot of kind folks have helped me, so here's my
attempt to be useful. It *should* work! Advance disclaimer if not :-)
