I am relatively new to Procmail, so excuse me if this question
has been asked a million times before. Anyway, if a user has a
.procmailrc file in their home directory I want Procmail to use that
instead of the global .procmailrc. I have read discussions where people
say it is possible, but I have been unable to find instructions on how to
implement it.
You are aware that the user's own procmailrc is STILL executed, it's just
executed AFTER the /etc/procmailrc (provided the /etc/procmailrc doesn't
discard or otherwise deliver the message).
If you _really_ want user procmailrcs to override the /etc/procmailrc (or
at least to take over at some certain stage within it), you could test for
the user procmailrc existing:
# (adjust home path as necessary)
:0
* ? test ! -e /home/$LOGNAME/.procmailrc
{
# conditions that get processed if the user
# DOES NOT have a procmailrc.
}
As per my disclaimer (see .sig), this is untested and is offered for what
it is worth.
