Thanks to everyone who has sent me helpful replies so far!
I was just browsing the procmailex man page, and saw this:
If someone sends you a mail with the word `retrieve' in the subject, the
following will automatically send back the contents of info_file to the
sender. Like in all recipes where we send mail, we watch out for mail
loops.
:0
* !^From +YOUR_USERNAME
* !^Subject:.*Re:
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* ^Subject:.*retrieve
| (formail -r ; cat info_file) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
Isn't this really what I'm trying to do? Since I am searching for a
subject line of:
[admin] subscribe
my recipe would look like this:
* !^From +webgrrls
* !^Subject:.*Chicago Webgrrls Listserv FAQ
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* ^Subject:.*[admin] subscribe
| (formail -r ; cat info_file) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
Does the * in "^Subject:.*[admin] subscribe" act like a wild card, or does
it have another function here? i.e. the recipe as above would catch and
reply to messages with "Re: [admin] subscribe" in the subject line? Since
I would not want this to happen, could I delete the *?
Again, please cc: me on the reply, as I'm subscribed to the digest.
