Hi Sean
First of all thanks for reply me back.
I am new in procmail configuration and I am learning about how to configure
procmail properly in various ways so that we can handle our mails
accordingly.
I get this example from the net. Any way I explain it to u what I am trying
to do.I want all coming emails to my server will be written to a file and
not delivered to the clients directly.I want to perform some operations on
all coming emails and then sent it to the recipients. I want to do it on all
my mail accounts so I need global filter. I read /etc/procmailrc will do it
.
Permissions for /etc/procmailrc is 644 and owner is root.
If you have understand what I want to do then Please help me out to write
down this filter. I will be really appreciate your kind co-operation.
thanks
Shahid Mahmood

SENT FROM isn't a function of procmail. Procmail handles mail LOCALLY
DELIVERED TO.
here is my /etc/procmailrc file
PATH=usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail # You'd better make sure it exists
If you're specifying an absolute path in the message delivery, and not
including anything, then redefining this is meaningless.
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log
= /var/spool/mail/log
Probably not the best plage to cram a log - that's the MAILSPOOL
directory. Let's hope you never have a user named log.
:0:
/root/backupmail
THAT will not produce a _Backup_ copy of anything - it'll be DELIVERY of
THE message
What are the perms on /etc/procmailrc ?
Have you tried this with VERBOSE=ON ?
In future posts to the procmail list, please try to avoid using fonts and
colours - plaintext is more likely to get you more responses. Some
members, myself generally included, sometimes ignore such messages. I
outright ignore messages which arrive as discrete file attachments for
that
matter.
