No.
It's still very rare to find pop mail sorting being discussed here...
(...)
Just a few days ago I posted a script to handle this, but a repeat seems to
be required :-).
I'm sorry _but_ you posted it under the subject line: "Re: "re-delivering"
doesn't function" (answer to the second post of Alexandre Molari)
I was scanning an answer to "Re: problem distributing mail from a POP mailbox"
(first post of Alexandre Molari)...
Strangely enough I'm used to use subject lines...
Any re-distribution and similar handling should of course be set up in
.procmailrc in the usual manner.
Since then I've made a change to it addressing a compatibilty problem with
old shells pointed out to me by Soren Dayton.
The script can be found at:
<ftp://frp.sn.no/user/egilk/pop_script.tar.gz
Well I ftp'd 'sn.no' (it works as well...) and got your script. I also read
your answer to the second message of Alexandre.
The problem is that we had _very_ different interpretations of the post of
Alexandre...
For me all he was succeding was to receive with his pop client (no big deal)
but he failed to do anything with his newmail file and procmail (for the
evident reason that usually procmail works with sendmail and that when using
pop there is no use of sendmail...)
That's what I've read... For me it's clear that he doesn't know how to launch
procmail.
The problem is that you assume the central problem is the use of pop because
you use a "really nasty" popclient.
Me I'm using the very excellent PopOver under OPENSTEP for MACH-OS. He does
everything perfectly: i.e. create a tmp file in /tmp with a lock file and when
finished he create a file under the name I choose in the directory I choose.
So the only problem for me is how to launch procmail to sort the mail in that
file to different users!!!!!
(I think it's _very_ similar to Alexandre's situation...)
I'll post in a different mail with the title "Sorting a POP mailbox..." my
solution and my problem more explicitely...
