Hi!
This has probably been done to death on the list, but I'll risk
bringing it
up again, because it's not in any of the man pages.
I have a simple recipe that bounces mail back to a particularly
annoying guy
which looks like this:
:0
* ^From:(_dot_)*bum(_at_)some(_dot_)place
{
EXITCODE=67 HOST
}
The idea is that he gets information which states that I don't exist
(I'm
getting existential...sorry :). The problem is that he also gets my .forward
file in
the bounced e-mail so he knows that I do indeed exist. Is there anything I
can do
about this? I could probably just /dev/null his posts, but I want him to stop
mailing me altogether and that's not the way.
Try the following for the action portion of your recipe. You will probably
need to do a bit of editing, or at least setting of variables in your
.procmailrc to get this to work right. I snipped this from a much larger
procmail spam-filter recipe. Obviously this recipe is dependant on temporarily
saving the contents of the offending message, then appending them to the end
of the bounce message, so you'll have to figure out how to do that as well.
I'm farily certain the author of the filter I snipped this from reads this
list to, so she may speak up if she sees anything else that needs to be
adjusted for your case.
