proper use of 'e'

2002-07-31 20:10:07

I keep backups of each message that comes in... if the message is to/cc $ME then it goes to one folder, but if it isn't it goes to a maildir in a TEMP folder

If for some reason the sub-folder within TEMP doesn't exist I want it to try a file in TEMP and if that fails I'll save it at $HOME

Is this the proper recipe?


# If message is to me
:0c:
* $ ^(To|Cc):.*$ME
$HOME/mail/zbackup

# message is NOT to me
:0Ec:
$HOME/TEMP/zbackup.not2me/

# can't save in TEMP/zbackup.not2me, then
:0ec:
$HOME/TEMP/zbackup.not2me.failed

# worst case scenario:
# can't save in TEMP/, save to $HOME
:0ec:
$HOME/zbackup.not2me.failed

# carbon copy continues in .procmailrc

(note $DEFAULT is $HOME/.mail so if $HOME doesn't exist I'm entirely screwed anyway)
