Most of the time this is accomplished by filtering on the "To: "
header, but in those cases where the "To " address, for one reason
or another is not present, then it becomes a project to filter them.
Much easier to just add a header at the forwarding end.
Basically, you want to filter messages by the envelope recipients.
This can't be done, period. Procmail is a delivery agent, not a MTA, so
Not clear what you are saying above. Do you mean a header cannot be
added by formail, through a procmail recipe? Its a bit confusing to
hear: you should "filter messages by envelope recipients".
"Procmail... . doesn't have access to envelope recipients"
It would seem the conclusion would be [ procmail cannot filter messages ]
One common misuse of Procmail is to try this for the "wrong purposes",
but if you are merely looking for something that can say "this came
via foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com" where you don't really care how it ended up there,
as
long as it went through the file /home/foo/.procmailrc on bar.com,
nothing could be simpler. Replace this:
:0
! reader(_at_)newsguy(_dot_)com
with this:
:0
| formail -I "X-Delivered-Via: foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com" \
| $SENDMAIL $SENDMAILFLAGS reader(_at_)newsguy(_dot_)com
... where foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com is the address whose .procmailrc contains this.
(You can probably modularize this if you want a single file you can
drop in at different accounts, i.e. get the domain name from uname -n
or whatever, and the user name from $LOGIN.)
