Thank you for all the responses to my last question. I found a solution
that works. Now I have a question about setting up an auto-responder of
sorts, but it does not reply to the address that sent the message,
rather, it extracts the email address from the message that was sent and
then mails a specific file to that address. I think I will need to use
formail in the processing, but I'm not sure how. If the original
incoming message is in a file the following shell command will extract
the new message:
cat filename | awk '$2 == "address:" {print $3}'
But I do not know how to get procmail to write the incoming message to a
file and then set the new To: field to be the extracted address. I also
think I would need to use lock files, but I am not sure how to do this
either.
Thanks so much for your help and your patience. I've only been at this
for two days now.
