Thanks for those who took the time to straighten me out.
BTW, I'm not a system admin. I'm just a guy who works at a college who
wants to get ALL of his email forwarded to another address. I used
the college's web-based 'forward my mail" script, which wrote a
procmailrc file that I now know doesn't do that. When I brought the
issue of lost mail up, I was led to believe the senders of that mail
were violating some mail standard and they needed to change their mail
headers. Now I know better.
I simply want ALL of my email forwarded from myaddress(_at_)college(_dot_)edu
to
mypreferred_address(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com , while avoiding any 'loops' that
will get the mail administrrators upset with me. This is what I'm
using at the moment (based on Michelle's example, and some reading):
The default forwarding that your school sets up is a bad implementation
anyway. By stripping out all amiler daemon messages when forwarding they
remove important things like bounce notifications. They really should
change that script to not add the "* !^FROM_MAILER" line. In fact, you
might want to send them your adjustments and suggest that they use it
instead.
