and
then forward it to hers(_at_)my(_dot_)com(_dot_)
literal his(_at_)my(_dot_)com, or some programmatic implementation wherein the
username portion from the original message is tacked onto a @my.com ? And
is hers(_at_)my(_dot_)com a static address?
"sender's" address is a misnomer - I suspect you're referring to the
"From:" field, but the sender's address may appear literally in "Sender:"
(say, for list messages), and of course the From_ (which, when you remail,
your server will end up rewriting), or the Return-Path: and Reply-To:
headers. There's lots of places to find the "senders" address.
if anyone could help with the syntax, I would really appreciate it.
This should work to do what I _interpret_ your request to be:
:0
* ^TO_my(_at_)my\(_dot_)com
* ! ^X-Loop: my(_at_)my\(_dot_)com
| formail -I "From: his(_at_)my(_dot_)com" -A "X-Loop: my(_at_)my(_dot_)com" \
| $SENDMAIL hers(_at_)my(_dot_)com -f his(_at_)my(_dot_)com
If you want _all_ mail arriving here to be treated as being "to" the
my(_at_)my(_dot_)com address, then eliminate the first condition. If you want to
retain a copy of the unaltered message, add a 'c' flag to the flags
line. If you want to retain the original From: in the forwarded message,
change the '-I' in the formail invocation to '-i'.
Note that the To:/Cc: fields are NOT changed in the rewritten message
(you're redirecting it to the other address, but they're effectively
receiving it as a Bcc:). Before you argue the logic of that, consider that
if there are addresses other than your own in the To: or Cc: fields, so you
shouldn't just change those fields to be something else, so how do you
figure you'll rewrite them? You could pass the message headers through a
sed script to change my(_at_)my(_dot_)com to hers(_at_)my(_dot_)com, but I'll leave that exercise
up to you.
Additionally, by using the '-f addr' parm to sendmail, your envelope sender
information should be changed to be this other address you're claiming the
message is from (more properly reflecting that address as the sender).
