My problem is that I need to use flags "e or a" but I wish to refer to
the rule they are dependent on.
Meaning that I don't want the rules to be order dependant.
I'll breifly describe what I have setup.
I have a shell account username "steffi" and it front ends all users at
my domain elastica.com
There's me "robert" and my wife "ann" and I'd like to duplicate all
functionality I have for all users.
Basically I want to do the following.
As mail comes in.
run filtmail script which filters mail appropriately for either ann or
robert.
This filter either exits 1 or exits 0. ie. the filter when the mail is
accepted exists with a status of 1
whenever it exists with 0 that mail is considered spam by filtmail and
should then be passed off to spamassissin.
I run into a little bit of a problem because I'm running two anti
spammers but this is because filtmail does more than just identfy what
it thinks as spam.
If filtmail determines that the mail is not spam. That then I do not
wish that mail to go through to spam assassin. Only mail that filtmail
deems to be spam should go into spamassassin. I can live with false
positives from filtmail as it's rules are very strict. Basically if the
sender isn't on a list then are seen to be spam.
So, I have to users ann(_at_)elastica(_dot_)com and
robert(_at_)elastica(_dot_)com
I want to provide filtmail and spamassassin functionality for both
users.
This is where things get a little nasty.
In my procmailrc rules I still have to match specifically on the
intended recipient of the message in order to direct the mail to the
correct mailbox. Currently I cheat in that mail to robert goes to
$DEFAULT so I special case anns mail only. I can change this if
necessary.
But again the key thing I want is for both users to only forward email
to spamassassin if filtmail deemed it spam. I do not know how to use "e
or a" syntax for more than one rule positioned after the dependent rule.
Filtmail will append an X-Challenge-Reason header whenever the message
is considered spam so I'm currently cheating by using that as a
indicator that filtmail has decided that mail is spam and so match on
that header in some rules. I would like to be able to structure this
logic without relying on the presence of any token in the mail. ie.
based on the exit status.
So what I want to know is how one specifies "a or e" condition flags
for a rule by naming that rule regardless of when it occurred prior to
the _current_ rule.
Remember, filtmail will correctly exit 1 or 0 for both my users so it
doesn't matter which users mail filtmail sees. What I'm concerned about
is how I conditionalize spamassasin for when it exits with a 1 exit
status.

}
I realize that this currently will send all "robert's" mail that goes
through filtmail regardless of whether the exit status 1 or 0. I'll
change that so that only mail that mail deems to be spam hits
spamassassin. Again I'd rather rely on the exit status of the filter
than the presence of X-Challenge-Reason.
Can I solve my problem using scopes?
