! chuck(_at_)moongroup(_dot_)com
There are two mailing lists we wanted to gate together so we used a "dummy"
account and this script... cgate is sub'd to both lists and this hack is indeed
working but I'd really like to improve it a bit without breaking it in the
process. Sadly... I haven't a clue where to start (and yes I've read the doc's
on formail, and man procmailex, man procmail, etc. etc. but when I try something
new it breaks the script and as it is in operation I'd rather not).
What I'd like to do is pass the original sender's From: address going either way
so that people will have a clue who sent the mail if it happened to come from
the gated list rather than from their "local" list. As it is now both lists can
only see a From: address of cgate(_at_)moongroup(_dot_)com if it's passed
through the
gateway. It may be that we have to convert it to an X-Sender: or something like
that to keep mail from bouncing from the lists but if somebody has a
recommendation I'm all ears.
I'll appreciate any help greater than an RTFM... thanx!
