procmail: Error while writing to " (formail -rt ; \
echo "Your e-mail was bounced!" \
) | sendmail -oi -t"
The problem is that you're feeding the entire message into "formail -r",
which only wants the header. Procmail then gets a write error when
formail exits without having read the entire message. Note that you'll
only see this message if the body is more than PIPEBUF (usually 8k)
bytes long, or if formail gets scheduled to run ASAP by the kernel.
The solution is to tell procmail to only feed the header into the pipe
to formail by putting the 'h' flag on the recipe. You should also add
a check to make sure someone can't trick this recipe into responding
to itself:
XLOOP = "npalmqvist(_at_)shipco(_dot_)com"
:0 h
* ! $ ^X-Loop: *$\XLOOP
| ( formail -rt -A"X-Loop: $XLOOP" ; \
echo "Your e-mail was bounced!" \
) | $SENDMAIL $SENDMAILFLAGS -t
