Would anyone be willing to share a sample of a global procmailrc file with me?
I would like to use a global if at all possible, but am having a bit more
trouble finding examples...
Uh, the global procmailrc has the SAME syntax as the user
procmailrc. There's a couple of notable caveats:
1. Not all local delivery users have valid shells. It isn't a
half-bad idea to preserve the original (user) shell, and force a
specific shell (for anything invoked from within the global file),
and on exit, retstore the user shell.
2. the global procmailrc is processed with enhanced privledges. You
should not includerc files from the user, since they can be used to
compromise security. If you need to shed these privleges, you can
use "DROPPRIVS=YES", but note that once you shed, you can't reclaim
them.
Example of things you'd do in a global procmailrc include spam filtering,
virus or content filtering. You might also use it to place messages into a
database file instead of delivering into a traditional mbx mailspool.
Syntax is _exactly_ the same as a user procmailrc.
