Thank you, that worked.
One more question:
I want to be able to use that rc file from /etc/aliases. Something
like:
testacct: | "/usr/local/bin/procmail -m /home/testuser/rc1"
Instead of checking the Subject with:
* ^Subject:.*TEST1*
I want to check the To field with:
* ^TOtestacct
But when I call procmail like that from the /etc/aliases file,
procmail fails to check the To: field. How can I pass the To: field to
procmail? ( | "/usr/local/bin/procmail -m /home/testuser/rc1 -d testacct"
didn't work.)
I need to check the To: field, because that rc file (rc1) is going to
be used by more than one address.
Thanks again.

I want to be able to send a message to user1 if a message has a

But if the massage has a Subject line with TEST1 in it but does not

And if the subject does not have TEST1 in it regardles where it comes
from, I want the message go to the $DEFAULT and to user3.
Is this possible?
something like:
DEFAULT=$HOME/mbox
:0
* ^Subject:.*TEST1*
{
* ^From.*testuser* (I know this is not allowed, that's my problem!)
:0
!user1
:0 E
!user2
}
And somewhere I have to use !user3 ...
Almost had it. Your largest problem was that you missed the placement of
the condition on the nested recipe. Remember: inside the braces is just
a normal series of recipes and assignments:
DEFAULT = $HOME/mbox
:0
* ^Subject:.*TEST1
{
# Use \< and \> to delineate the address so that "testuser2"
# doesn't match.
:0
* ^From.*\<testuser\>
! user1
# If that didn't match, send it to user2. If it did, we wouldn't
# be here at all, so no need for the 'E' flag.
:0
! user2
}
# send a copy of user3
:0 c
! user3
Does that all make sense?
