Hello -
From work I cannot access my private e-mail account. I was looking for a
solution that would forward my mail spool upon a trigger message. Some
search on Google produced a solution that was discussed here
<http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/1998-08/msg00361.html>.
It works well, but it bothers me that the spool is deleted once it is
mailed.
Here is my recipe:
---BOF---
ORGMAIL=/var/mail/hiebaum
:0 D
* ^From: .*(work(_at_)company\(_dot_)com)
* ^Subject: .*(+FWMAIL)
{
LOCKFILE=$ORGMAIL$LOCKEXT
:0 c:
IN.webmaster
:0 frw
* ? test -s $ORGMAIL
| cat $ORGMAIL
:0 Arc
| formail -I "X-Forwarded: from $LOGNAME(_at_)$HOST" -es \
$SENDMAIL -oi -t work(_at_)company(_dot_)com
:0 Arc
| cat > .sentspool
:0 Ahi
| true > $ORGMAIL # safer to empty it than to rm it
:0 bfw
| (formail -i "From: my(_at_)account(_dot_)com" ; \
echo "\$ORGMAIL was empty. There was nothing to forward." )
:0
! work(_at_)company(_dot_)com
}
---EOF---
I found that that if I delete or comment the lines
:0 Ahi
| true > $ORGMAIL
out, then $ORGMAIL won't be deleted, but the newest message in $ORGMAIL is
mailed to me twice. I guess, a small price to pay, but if there is a more
elegant solution, I would want to know about it.
Any ideas? BTW, many thanks to David Tamkin for this great recipe. :)
