procmail: how to forward mail instead of 'filing'?

1996-11-07 10:15:50
Everybody  good afternoon.. ;)

I have read the faq for setting up Procmail (parts contained
within the filtering-email faq).

I have setup the .procmail directory (with rc.testing and rc.maillists)
with .procmailrc and .forward.  

sent two messages and they seem to have worked except the plain one 
which didn't get back to my inbox.  

log file is:
___________
frodo:garethw(34)% mailstat .procmail/log

  Total  Number Folder
  -----  ------ ------
      0       2 **Bounced**
    325       1 IN.testing
_______________
which raised a question... as I didn't know those which do not 
fit into those rc files are to be 'bounced'!!

therefore, could anybody tell me how to:

1.) trap all the messages which do not fit into the rc.xxx files
    and put them in my original inbox?  

2.) how to forward these messages to an alternative email address
    and then keep a copy of it in the in-box??

3.) performing the forwarding function except keeping the msgs in
    a local file (probably within a mailfile in /home/mail/*)

this is very urgent for me.. as I need to set it up before monday..
any help is much appreciated.  

thanks a lot.

best regards

Gareth Wong
