I have an alias in /etc/aliases and I'd like all mail sent to it to
be processed by a procmail script and I'm wondering what is the best
thing to use for the alias. Since I cannot edit /etc/aliases myself,
I'd like to use something that is as flexible as possible so I don't
need to bug the sys admins after it's set up. Should I use the same
thing that works in the .forward or will something like this work:
foo: "|/usr/local/bin/procmail /home/nancym/foo/.procmailrc"
I'm leaving out -f- because according to the man pages I can
simulate that with a recipe. Do I need to put in IFS=' ', exec,
etc. in the alias?
Hmmmmm, I just realized that maybe I should just have it pipe the
message to a script, e.g.:
foo: "|/home/nancym/bin/procfoo"
and then procfoo will invoke procmail and I'll be able to edit
procfoo whenever I want. What do you think of that?
Thanks for any words of wisdom on this!
Nancy
