Re: [Procmail] Retrieving Remote Mail

Hi Dorita Menconi!  I'm a UNIX administrator and I like to fight spam!
Also, it seemed like I should be able to process all the stuff for my
domain by sending it to sendmail or procmail by doing

:0
* ^TOmydomain.com
| procmail

but that got me into an infinite loop.  Is there some other way to do
this?

        And so it should, as it causes a newly launched copy of Procmail 
to go through the same rc file again, until it reaches that condition, at 
which point procmail launches again, and again, again... :-)

        Try enclosing all of your domain's recipes on a nesting block if 
you have a lot of them like this:

:0
* ^(to|cc).*mydomain\.com
{
:0:
* ^(to|cc)postmaster
/var/spool/mail/root

:0 E
* ^(to|cc)ftp-server
| (formail -rt; echo "Here is a directory listing!") |$SENDMAIL -oi -t
etc.
.
.

:0 E
| (formail -rt; echo "user not found, sorry!") |$SENDMAIL -oi -t
}

        Regards,
