Hi,
According to the Procmail FAQ I can do this as follows:
! `address_list`
That should be
! `cat address_list`
where address_list is the file which contains the list of addressees.
However, when I tried it with a text file containing the single
anotheraddress(_at_)domain residing in the same location as the .procmailrc
file
it did not work. In the example in the FAQ the first line is a comment that
reads:
# The file $MAILDIR/addresses.txt contains the recipients, one per line
What path does the variable $MAILDIR point to? I haven't been able to find
where that variable is defined. What is this poor newbie missing?
according to the manpage (man procmailrc) it's "$HOME/" -- unless your
site has something in /etc/procmailrc or something like that which
modifies it. To find out, do something like this:
:0 fbwi
* ^Subject: MagicStringThatNeverAppearsInRealMail
| echo $MAILDIR
and send a mail with that subject.
I set mine (inside .procmailrc) as:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
which is where my mail folders reside.
hth,
