Re: disable program execution from procmailrc?

2000-05-08 05:05:11
I want to prevent, that my users can execute
programms from the procmailrc. It should be even
impossible to pipe a incoming mail to an other
program.
Is there a possibility to compile procmail in
a way that only allow to filter mails to other
folders?

Look at the RESTRICT_EXEC option in your config.h file prior to
compilation.  Newer versions of procmail (post 3.12) allow you to specify
the highest UID allowed to fork programs; pre-3.12 versions turn it off
entirely unless you use the unofficial patch at

   http://mirror.ncsa.uiuc.edu/procmail/patches/smrsh-like.patch

Does a web based tool exist to configure a user
specific .procmailrc?

Take a look at the "dotfile generator."  It's supposed to
be at

   http://www.imada.ou.dk/~blackie/dotfile/

but I can't seem to connect right now.  I also don't know if it has full
Web support yet, although it was in the works a while back.
