I tried that, but still have problems with it. I am trying to assign
a new ticket number when the incoming mail did not already contain
a ticket-number in its Subject header n the form [S-ABUSE-xxxx]:
Here is the part of my recipe:
...
LOCKFILE=serial.rc$LOCKEXT ## set
global lock
INCLUDERC=$MAILDIR/serial.rc ##
read current value (whether we us it or not)
:0 Ec ##
increment
* $ $SERIAL^0 ##
value just read
* 1^0 ## by
1
...
However, this is what happens (from my procmaillog, verbose):
--cut here---
[...]
procmail: Assigning "PREFIX=S-ABUSE"
procmail: No match on "^Subject:.*\[${PREFIX}-\/[0-9][^]]+.*"
procmail: Assigning "LOCKFILE=serial.rc.lock"
procmail: Locking "serial.rc.lock"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/abuse/mail/serial.rc"
procmail: Assigning "SERIAL=1"
procmail: Score: 0 0 "## value just read"
procmail: Score: 0 0 "## by 1"
Comments are not allowed at the end of condition lines: they'll be
interpreted as part of the condition, usually as part of the regexp.
If you want to put comments near the conditions, put them on separate
lines:
:0 Ec
# increment value just read by 1
* $ $SERIAL^0
* 1^0
