RE: Help with procmail recipe

Hi,

It worked :) Thanks for your help. I also modified it for grouping purposes:

:0
* ^TOsmsalert\(_at_)dagupan(_dot_)com
{
  :0 cw
  | email2sms | gnokii --sendsms +639174568595; sleep 10

  :0 Acw
  | email2sms | gnokii --sendsms +639196360154; sleep 10

  :0 A
  | email2sms | gnokii --sendsms +639175080964; sleep 10
}

I'm now figuring out how to modify this so I'll just list all the numbers in
a file, read it and send it out via SMS.

Something like:

~/.procmailrc:
        NOC=/etc/procmail/include/noc-numbers.txt
        SOFTWARE=/etc/procmail/include/software-numbers.txt

        :0
        * ^TOnoc-alert\(_at_)dagupan(_dot_)com
        | email2sms | for NUMBERS in $NOC; do gnokii --sendsms $NUMBERS;
sleep; done

Uh, do you figure you get THREE copies of your message on STDIN, or just 
the ONE, which is consumed by the first pipe process?

There's no need to use the 'c' flag if all you're going to do is discard 
the message.  However, your solution lies in a different use of the 'c'
flag:

:0cw
* ^TOsmsalert\(_at_)dagupan(_dot_)com
| email2sms | gnokii --sendsms <phone1>; sleep 10

:0Acw
| email2sms | gnokii --sendsms <phone2>; sleep 10

:0A
| email2sms | gnokii --sendsms <phone3>
