Will the above command substitution work?
I don't know if it will, but I wouldn't do it. Instead I suggest
using something like this...
:0c:
backups/backup
so that you don't start a shell and run 'date' for every single
message. Include something like this in your .procmailrc:
:0
* ^From: me
* ^To: me
* ^Subject: something nobody else will use
* maybe some other condition to guarantee uniqueness
{
LOCKFILE=backups/backup.lock
# Now nobody can write backup
BF=backups/backup-%d
:0 hciW
| mv -f backups/backup $BF
LOCKFILE
}
and have a cron job to "mail -s something nobody else will use" etc.
once a day, say at 5:00 AM.
