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.
Thanks for the tips, Sean.
Take care.
