Re: problem with forwarding to multiple addresses

I' ve been to to put commas, I've been to to remove the commas, I've been
told
to put spaces and I've been told NOT to put spaces.

THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

My procmailrc works perfectly for forwarding with commas and spaces as in my
example. Also, I already tried the "c" flag. See my initial mail below.

The problem is that if a mail is sent to both "foo" and "bar" at the same
time,
only "foo" will get the mail. procmailrc doesn't handle "bar".
This could be fixed with a "c" flag on "foo" and "bar", but this creates
scrap mail
for the last in the list.

There have to be another way.

when forwarding to mulitple addresses you must seperate the address with a
',' and NO space between the address names. Try it that should work.
In return could you post your sample recipe to catch the procmail list
postings to a folder?

You might want to use :0 c' so that it makes a copy b/c the way you have
it, it will do one thing and then it is gone.  There isn't a copy of it
to
work with.

Hi !

I have a problem with forwarding to several addresses, some of which
are
forrwards in the
procmailrc file.
Here's the example:

########################################
#.procmailrc
#

#first forward
:0
*^TO_foo(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
! foo(_at_)otheraddress(_dot_)com

#second forward
:0
*^TO_bar(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
! bar(_at_)otheraddress(_dot_)com


#multi forward
:0
*^TO_both(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
! foo(_at_)domain(_dot_)com, bar(_at_)domain(_dot_)com

#catch all
:0
! webmaster(_at_)domain(_dot_)com

#
#end
########################################

Sending mail to either of "foo" or "bar" separately will work.
Mail to "both" don't work and will only be sent to "foo".
I could ofcourse specify "foo" and "bar"s real addresses in the
multiforward, but this
is inconvenient.
Also, a regular mail specifying both "foo" and "bar" in the To line
will
only be sent to "foo".

I tried adding a c flag to the two addresses. This succeded in sending
to
both addresses,
but obviously also caused the catch all to catch the carbon copy from
"bar"
and cause
a dummy mail.

Any hints to how I can have more that one forward ???
