Re: conditional (on output of another program) forwarding

Dallman, thanks for remembering that.  Cory, do you need the messages
forwarded as they come in, or can you use something that acts when you
ask it to?

|   INCLUDERC=.forwardpass

Just to explain that assignment: Dallman at the time had reasons to let other
users on the system read his .procmailrc.  The $MAILDIR/.forwardpass file
contained just one line:

 SPOOL_FORWARD_PASSWORD=whateverthepasswordwas

and was readable only by him.  By putting it into an INCLUDERC that only he
could read, he could let other users on the system peruse his .procmailrc
without learning his forwarding password.

If your .procmailrc is not readable by anyone else, you can assign the
password in it without using an INCLUDERC.
