I want to set a variable with the action. I expected it to be something
like this:
TEST_MAIL="| /usr/local/bin/dmail +Test"
However, procmail always interprets this as a mailbox name and delivers mail
to the mailbox "|". I have tried many different ways of quoting and
escaping character but procmail always interprets the contents of the
variable as a mailbox to deliver to.
Is there a way to assign a variable so that procmail will pipe to the dmail
program?
Try this instead:
TEST_MAIL="dmail +Test" # See Philip's earlier statement on using full paths \
v. adding the dir to $PATH
:0:
* ^Subject:.*Test
| $TEST_MAIL
