Hi, dear users of procmail!
I am not master of procmail, that's why I have
got a real trouble.
The task is simple: when we get the message to
webmaster(_at_)hqmovies(_dot_)com with the size greater then 40Kb
then send the reply "The message exceeds the limit of 40K"
with the first several lines of the original letter.
That what I have developed in /etc/procmailrc:
:0 bhi
* ^To:(_dot_)*webmaster(_at_)hqmovies(_dot_)com
* > 40960
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: admin(_at_)intervelopers(_dot_)com
# That comes in one line
| head -100 | (formail -rk -I"From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon(_at_)intervelopers(_dot_)com>" -I"Subject: Returned mail:
The message exceeds the limit of 40K" -A"X-Loop: admin(_at_)intervelopers(_dot_)com"; echo "... the rest of the message is cut
...") | $SENDMAIL -it
The action is quite difficult, but it works. I have used "i" flag
cause "head -100" closes the pipe earlier then procmail sends the message.
This is the only rule in rc file. I do use procmail v3.14 1999/11/22.
Then I have moved rc file to the other server (running procmail v3.21
2001/06/29)
and it suddenly stopped working! I mean it works, but in the wrong way:
- when the small messages arrive, they are delivered ok
- when the large message arrives, it is not delivered (that's ok), but
the reply is not send either.
I tried to simplify the action to:
formail -rk -I"From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon(_at_)intervelopers(_dot_)com>" -I"Subject: Returned mail: The message
exceeds the limit of 40K" -A"X-Loop: admin(_at_)intervelopers(_dot_)com" | $SENDMAIL -it
but that doesn't work too.
That is the logfile messages:
=== small message is ok ===
procmail: Match on "^To:(_dot_)*webmaster(_at_)hqmovies(_dot_)com"
procmail: No match on "> 40960"

How can I increase debug level or trace? What can
be the reason of such behavior?
Thank you a lot.
Bye.
