Re: Using vars in condition test?

Is is possible to use variables in the condition line like

yes.

    # Assign variable
    LISTNAME=procmail

    :0
    * ^To:.*$LISTNAME
    procmail-folder

How do I make procmail expand $LISTNAME before sending the test to egrep?

Use "$" (as described in the procmailrc man page):

    :0
    * $ ^To:.*$LISTNAME
    procmail-folder

If you think LISTNAME might have characters meaningful to regexp and you
don't want them to be interpreted as regexps, use $\LISTNAME (v3.11):

    :0
    * $ ^To:.*$\LISTNAME
