Re: Newbie to ProcMail

something simple, that greps the which sender the mail from. I tried the
whole night. Can someone tell me what's wrong with the following code:

...
SENDER=`formail -rt`

This creates a reply header (what you saw in your $HOME/test.log).

The procmailex(5) manpage gives this formula:

              FROM=`formail -rt -xTo:`

I do it like this:

    ADDRESS=`formail -rtzx to:`

The 'z' removes any blanks.

The formail(1) manpage gives additional information about the meaning
of the 't' flag.
