I use procmail in combination with sendmail to direct our virtual user
account mail. That is, I direct all inbound mail for a given domain to a
single user account, and then use procmail within that account to redirect
the mail to individual user accounts. It looks something like this:
sendmail rule:
R$*<@virtualdomain.com> $#local$:vdomain
Then, in the vdomain account is a .forward with:
"|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail USER=vdomain"
whose .procmailrc has:
VERBOSE=off
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.filter
and rc.filter holds:
:0 c
* (^TO|^CC|^BCC)(_dot_)username(_at_)virtualdomain(_dot_)com
:0 c
*^Received:(_dot_)*username(_at_)virtualdomain(_dot_)com
! username(_at_)pop2(_dot_)mailhost(_dot_)com
:0
{
:0
* (^TO|^CC|^BCC)(_dot_)username(_at_)virtualdomain(_dot_)com
/dev/null
}
Here's the problem. Some of our users subscribe to mailing lists whose To
field is something other than their name. I can see the actual recipient
usually in the first 'Received: from . . . for
<username(_at_)virtualdomain(_dot_)com>
id . . . .' but I can't derive a rule that will operate within the above
parameters. Anyone have a rule out there which can solve this?
Secondly, the more I read the man page, the more I'm convinced that the
(^TO|^CC|^BCC) is redundant and should just be ^TO. Am I correct?
Thanks!
