Hi list,
how do I specify a procmailrc recipe to process a message independently
for each recipient? For example, saying
[snip - typical attempt at using procmail as an MTA]
Is there a clean way to handle this in ~/.procmailrc/
Procmail is not an MTA. You're going to be dissappointed when you try to
use it as one. Your MTA (Sendmail|Postfix|Exim|Qmail|etc) is given the
ENVELOPE recipients separate from the message itself. Unless configured to
do so, your MTA doesn't pass this information along - and even when it is,
it often won't when there are multiple recipients at your domain.
Consider: what happens when a message is sent to Jack, but Bcc:'d to
Jill? Or, when it is a list message from a list that both users are
subscribed to?
Insofar as procmail is concerned, THE recipient of the message is the user
account to which it was delivered.
