My procmail correctly fires a script on the arrival of certain mail.
Now the script reads the multiple recipients on the To: line and
possibly the Cc: and Bcc:.
The problem is that if the email addresses are valid ones for the
local machine then sendmail calls procmail once for each recipient
and of course procmil call my script once each time.
Is there a way to get procmail to only fire the script once for each
actual email - i notice that each original email is idetified by a
specific number like in this excerpt from the logs:
Subject: e(_dot_)smith(_at_)bizz(_dot_)xyz(_dot_)com

procmail: Executing "cd /home/httpd/xyz;su -c ./mail2sms.pl nobody"

procmail: Executing "cd /home/httpd/xyz;su -c ./mail2sms.pl nobody"
procmail: [17018] Tue Dec 19 13:00:05 2000
procmail: Match on "^(To|Cc|Bcc).*bizz.xyz.com"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=cd /home/httpd/xyz;su -c
./mail2sms.pl nobody"
All the 2559 entries are a single email - i want procmail to fire the
script only /once/ for say 2559.
Alternatively is this something I need to do in sendmail?
thanx
