Hello
The email type I am talking about is a bounceback email. Unfortunately,
these emails do not have any common structure and there is no common
place where you can find email address in the email body. Also, some of
these emails are plain text but some are encoded. The only common thing
about these emails is who sends them. They all come from MAILER-DAEMONs
Thanks,
Alex

I am working on new procmail recipe that should find an email address

I would need to pass the value of this variable to a korn shell for the
following database update (Oracle 10g).
Would it be possible to use procmail s native language to get this
email
address without using grep or egrep commands?
If so, how the recipe might look like?
What does the email look like? Is it presumed to be plain text, or
encoded?
Without context, you're asking us to take pot shots into the dark.
If there's some form of a field delimiter (say, the email is issued by a
webform someplace - though yea, you'd expect THAT form to do your db
work),
then you have some "anchor" text to search on.
