If you show me the recipe file, I can help you with it. At this point,
I can only imagine what it looks like, unless it *really* is as simple
as you indicate at the bottom of the included e-mail.
It actually is as simple as the one that is included at the bottom of the
message... :)
Since the "^To: [0-9]" condition failed, then its recipe action is not
performed. The next recipe is then examined. If there are no more
recipes, then procmail tries to deliver the e-mail to the default
mailbox for the current user. If there is no current mailbox for the
current user (an e-mail list), then procmail *bounces* the e-mail.
That is what I thought procmail was supposed to do, but I couldn't seem
to get it to work (that is it would not write to an existing user's
mailbox). The problem, I discovered, actually had nothing to do with
procmail, it had to do with my FX/etc/passwd %[^:] line in my sendmail.cf
and the rule that I had added to deal with $~X users - the problem was
that the currently installed sendmail had not compiled in the SCANF
option when it was created. :(
By the way, the recipe condition, as it stands, is not very flexible.
What about the case where there is more (or less) than exactly one space
between the color and the first number? Ie:
To: 1234(_at_)foo(_dot_)bar(_dot_)com
Subject: Problems
Is there a way to make the recipie handle such an issue? I cannot see any
way to make it so that it would handle an arbitrary number of spaces...
do you?
