I don't know whether you saw my personal note to you the other day in
which I voiced irritation over having received an acknowledgment to
a message I cc'd to you and posted to this list in reply to your
initial query. If you are going to mail questions to mailing lists,
you should think seriously about turning off or blocking replies to
people who might answer from the list.
I looked through my logs, and the only thing I saw from you was the cc of
your response to me on the 7th. I am sorry you are irritated by not being
included in my whitelist a priori. I have only recently begun developing
my .procmailrc, and when I have successfully debugged my autoresponder, I
would be happy to consider adding the functionality you describe. I have
just added you to my whitelist, so you may mail me with impunity.
I am running under Linux 2.4.18-18.7.x, procmail v3.22, qmail v1.03 (so says
the qmail man page).
My problem is 12 times out of the last 82 firings of my autoresponder recipe,
I got an 'Error while writing to "x"' message. I am assuming the worst, that
the recipe failed utterly, so the sender will not have been notified that they
are not on my whitelist, and thus I must review their message myself instead of
waiting for them to redeem it.
I have made a few tweaks to my recipes since I posted them, so here they are
again, followed by a typical fragment from the log file. LOGABSTRACT=on and
VERBOSE=on

I just tried manually piping the above offending message through procmail three
times. It generated the same error each time.
cat Mail/nonwhitelist/msg.Ad0L | procmail
Now that you clarified what you were doing with sed, I can still tell you how
to do it inside procmail, thus saving the pipe and the call to sed.

Thank you, I'll try that!

Jeff
