Thanks for the reply,
You seem to be wanting to use procmail as the LDA (Local Delivery
Agent) for your SMTP Daemon.
This way every user can have a .procmailrc in their $HOME/ which will
determine the fate of messages addressed to them. Isn't that what you
want?
I *think so* but I'm not familiar with all the terminology.
In which case you need to know what your SMTP daemon is and HOWTO
configure it to use procmail as the LDA.
It used to be Sendmail, now it's Qmail which seems to use a sendmail "lite"
equivalent. I use Qmail's Sendmail and Procmail works. This is what I have
to have in my forward file in order to use procmail with qmail:
My .forward file:
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #my account"
Is this what I need to change to deliver to individual accounts?
| If I call another rc file (IE:spambouncer) from within the custom.rc file
| will SB return to the custom.RC file (where it was called from) or the
| generic/master .procmailrc file?
It will return to the rcfile from which it was called.
Thanks
You might want to try a utility called unix2dos that converts the file
into a dos format before you tx it to the Winblows machine. You did not
say what OS you're running so my guess as to the availability of this util
is limited to the FreeBSD that I use. But why duplicate manpages anyway?
My server has freebsd and I just tried unix2dos. It didn't help, I still
have the black boxes scattered throughout the body of the text. I can read
the Man pages with telnet, but I wanted to print them out for reference. My
server's in the US and I'm on a dialup from Thailand.
I hope that answered (even partly) your questions ;-)
It's been a big help in getting a better understanding of what I want. I
tried calling via.rc like this from my .procmailrc and it failed miserably:
:0
* ^TO_address
| {INCLUDERC=$VIADIR/via.rc}
Is it possible to call a RCFILE for only one receipt?
