Michelle had asked,
< I'm trying to resend some mail that was mistakenly delivered to
< /var/mail/<user> instead of ~<user>/.mail before I got procmail
< completely configured to deliver mail to spools in users' home
< directories.
And Udi suggested,
cd /var/mail
/bin/ls | sed 's/.*/formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail & < &/' | sh
Noticing the slash problem, Udi revised that to this:
| /bin/ls -d | sed -n 's,^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9]*$,formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail -i
&
| < &,p' | sh
Even so, it shouldn't take all the uses of ls, sed, and sendmail.
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/mail
for user in *
do
[ -s $user ] && formail -s procmail -d $user < $user
done
Since you are already running that script as root in order to read all the
users' mail spools, you can use procmail's -d option even if procmail is not
setuid root.
