Re: How to?

Thank you, that worked, too.

And 2 more questions:

====

If a condition is met I'm sending the message to a certain address,
but I want the message to be the same as the original. But the
Return-Path gets changed to <daemon(_at_)localhost> since sendmail runs as
the user "daemon". Filtering the message with:

(FROM=`formail -rt -xTo:`)

  | formail  -I "Return-Path: $FROM" | /usr/lib/sendmail $address

doesn't help. Is there any other way?

(Currently it gets:     Return-Path: <daemon(_at_)localhost>)
(I want it to be:       Return-Path: <orginal-sender(_at_)original-hostname>)
=====

And my last question:

If I have a mailing list:

        test: :include: /home/mlist/test

And if I replace it with: 

        test: | " /usr/local/bin/procmail -m rcfile /home/mlist/test"

I can send mail to everybody in the /home/mlist/test file from within
the rcfile:

         |/usr/lib/sendmail `cat /home/mlist/test`

Is there a more efficient way? If I had 1000 users would that still
work?


Thanks again.
