I have my .procmailrc setup to forwward email to another (email
only) account. When I am not going to be at the account, I turn
forwarding off.
no no... easiest way to do that is this:
# look for the file to tell us whether or not to forward mail or not
# if the file exists, forward the mail
:0c
* ? test -r $HOME/.forwardmail
! me(_at_)elsewhere(_dot_)com
# if a message arrives from the other account
# with the Subject 'forward-off' then remove the
# file, effectively turning off forwarding
:0hi
* ^From:(_dot_)*me(_at_)elsewhere\(_dot_)com
* ^Subject: forward-off
|/bin/rm -f $HOME/.forwardmail
# if a message arrives from the other account
# with the Subject 'forward-on' then remove the
# file, effectively turning off forwarding on
:0hi
* ^From:(_dot_)*me(_at_)elsewhere\(_dot_)com
* ^Subject: forward-on
|/bin/touch $HOME/.forwardmail
Others might need to pound out bumps, but I did this for quite some time
