This one doesn't work though. The error follows the recipe:

Procmail doesn't think the "cat" line is part of the action. That implies
that the newline before it (on the X-Loop: line) is not preceeded by
a backslash. _That_ implies that there are spaces or tabs after the
backslash on that line. Remove them and give it another try (check the
rest of your rcfile for other occurences while you're at it).
Whitespace... I never thought of that. That actually prompted me to
try something else. I checked there wasn't any whitespace after the
slash on the X-Loop line but... there were a few lines in my recipe
that I had commented out and didn't include. I thought that
commenting my test lines out were enough. I wasn't thinking about
the comments coming up in the middle of a command. Stupid me! This
is how it really reads:
VIRUSADDR=virus-alert(_at_)sktc(_dot_)net
:0 h c
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: $VIRUSADDR
* ^Subject: Test bounce message
#| (formail -r -I"Precedence: junk" \
| (formail -r \
-I"Precedence: junk" \
-I"From: SKTC Virus Alert Daemon <$VIRUSADDR>" \
-I"Subject: [Virus Alert] You've been infected" \
-A"X-Loop: $VIRUSADDR" ; \
#echo "Mail received.") | $SENDMAIL -t
#echo "Mail received.") > /tmp/blah
`/bin/cat "/etc/mail/vbs.ss-txt"`) | $SENDMAIL -t
# -F SKTC Virus Alert Daemon -f $VIRUSADDR
I removed the two echo lines. Playing around after I sent my plea
for help I added back ticks. They stopped it from working, as
expected. I removed those and it worked like a champ. Here's my
final recipe:
VIRUSADDR=virus-alert(_at_)sktc(_dot_)net
:0 h c
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: $VIRUSADDR
* ^Subject: Test bounce message
| (formail -r \
-I"From: SKTC Virus Alert Daemon <$VIRUSADDR>" \
-I"Subject: [Virus Alert] You've been infected" \
-A"X-Loop: $VIRUSADDR" ; \
/bin/cat "/etc/mail/vbs.ss-txt") | $SENDMAIL -t
If you'd like to test it, send a message to shorej(_at_)maple(_dot_)sktc(_dot_)net,
subject: "Test bounce message". Are there any better ways of doing
this? Can anyone think of any downsides to doing this? I think this
is more helpful to virus ridden users than a 553. Thanks for your
help, Philip! It's much appreciated
Justin
