How can I use procmail to send a message to all users ?
I have a file with the list of users and another with the message.
You don't need procmail for this:
Assuming your list of names is like this (ie /tmp/list)
jim
joe
betty
and your message is in an ascii file (ie /tmp/message)
all you would need is this:
#!/bin/sh
USERS=/tmp/list
MESSAGE=/tmp/message
for i in `cat $USERS`
do
Mail -s "Your Subject Line Here" $i < $MESSAGE
done
However, it would be much more efficient to not call sendmail all those
times, just make it one long line:
Mail -s "Your Subject Line Here" `cat /tmp/list` < /tmp/message
