| | Hello group,
| | 
| |     I have some set of users in my procmailrc. 
| | 
| | my procmailrc file looks like this
| | 
| | :0 h b
| | * ^To.*johnson
| | | formail -A "X-Loop : Forwarded" | \
| | $SENDMAIL -oi johnson(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com
| 
| Change that to
| 
| :0
| * ^To:.*johnson
| ! johnson(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com
| 
| 
| | :0 h b
| | * ^To.*admin
| | | formail -A "X-Loop : Forwarded" | \
| | $SENDMAIL -oi admin(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com
| 
| 
| Really? You want the mail to go to admin(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com????
| I guess you don't need the second recipe, or maybe you want
| 
| :0
| * ^To:.*johnson
| ! johnson(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com


Sorry I meant 

:0
* ^To:.*admin
! johnson(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com

I typed faster that I thought ;-)



| Which if true then you only need one recipe (that forwards both johnson's
| and admin's mail to johnson(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com) like below
| 
| :0
| * ^To:.*(johnson|admin)
| ! johnson(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com
| 
| | if i send a mail to johnson(_at_)localhost then the mail should be forwarded
| | to johnson(_at_)yahoo(_dot_)com(_dot_) Same should happen for  user admin 
also. if i send a
| | mail to junk(_at_)localhost(non existing user) then the mail should bounce. 
how
| | do i configure this.
| 
| I do the bouncing using the SMTP Server (aka MTA). see the manuals for your 
MTA.
| 
| If you suspect that junk(_at_)localhost will end up at your mailbox then 
something 
| like this can do the bouncing:
| 
| :0:
| * ^TOjunk
| {
|         EXITCODE=67 HOST
| }
