Don't forget that some sendmails will think they are delivering
duplicates -- and trash same -- unless the expansion of your .forward is
unique, in the case where more than one procmail user at your site is
receiving the same message.
This is why you should put "#yourname" at the end of the .forward,
using your own login name, of course, i.e.,
"|IFS=' '; exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -Yf- #bodysurf"
in your case.
I was wondering about that (with the man page stating to put the
"#$username" in there), but Philip G. gave me the above "~/.forward" line
without the '#bodysurf' in it. So what's the verdict, Philip -- should I
put the '#bodysurf' in there? I was under the impression that the sendmail
exitcode bounce wouldn't work if I put my "#$username" in there.
Philip said the "#$username" part is not necessary (as is the "IFS=' '"
part) if one is running a sendmail v8.
Lates!
