Bouncing mails to groups

1996-03-19 10:19:42
Hi,
  Unfortunately our system (HP-UX) does not include ELM's filter program
  which had a neat way (and simple!) to accomplish what I wanted to do.
  My question is, does anybody has a recipe or recipe+script to do 
  what I want to do? if so I would like to know. Here is what I need to
  do with procmail (can it do it?)

  I want to have a single mail address as 'entry' point or distributor
  for the various groups. Incoming mail to account A would have its
  subject scanned, depending on the keywords the mail should be
  BOUNCED (therefore the reply address must be that of the ORIGINAL
  sender) to a group of people. So if for example the subject says
  `market' it will be bounced to the members of the marketing team
  if it contains `system' it will go to the members of the system
  group etc. etc. etc.

  There would be for example one file for each group (marketing,systems)
  and the file(s) contains the addresses (local) of the members of the
  target group.

  Is it possible to do it with procmail? can anybody enlighten me?

                Thanks in advance,
                                        Emilio
