Thanks
I eventually worked out the following recipes:
OTO=`/usr/local/bin/formail -xTo: `
:0
*
DELMAILBOX=| /usr/local/etc/procmail_process.pl
# Deliver if local (will always be /var/mail/something)
:0:
* DELMAILBOX ?? ^/var/mail/
$DELMAILBOX
# If we haven't delivered locally, possibly forward the mail to another
server
:0 E
* DELMAILBOX ?? @
|(formail -A "X-ServerInfo: $OTO" ; \
)|$SENDMAIL -oi $DELMAILBOX
# Bounce if non-local
:0 EWi
* ? test $DELMAILBOX = "INVALIDADDRESS"
|(formail -rkI "Subject: Returned Mail: the address $VIPTO is not valid.
Your message is att
ached" ; \
)|$SENDMAIL -oi -t -f postmaster(_at_)vip(_dot_)uk(_dot_)com
.. where procmail_process.pl always returns:
. nothing if the database is dead, so mail gets re-queued
. /var/mail/maildrop_file - so mail gets delivered locally
. an address with an @ in it - so mail is forwarded to its destination
server
. INVALIDADDRESS - which will hopefully bounce the mail.
What I still can't figure out is the final bit .. how to nicely bounce an
undeliverable mail in the correct fashion. Clearly what I currently
have is no good because the message IS NOT attached!
