Re: Using procmail with no home directory

But it's easy enough to just leave the 99% of the mail alone anyway,
although you would employ an /etc/procmailrc file.  It only needs to
say

   :0
   * ! ^(To|Cc):(_dot_)*helpdesk(_at_)wherever\(_dot_)edu
   { SWITCHRC }
Yep, but this is what I was trying to avoid. I don't really want to enter into /etc/procmailrc for every email that hits our server. Sure, it's probably not a huge cost, but generally, when you have something where the first line of logic is "for 99.9% of cases, don't do this", it's often useful to find a way to only get there when you want it in the first place. :-) Appreciate the suggestion, though.

I -think- What Klaus illustrated is really the way I want to go, although I haven't tested yet.

Thanks,
Fran
