I'm using procmail with Postfix to deliver mail to a third
party mailserver. I've set the following recipe to avoid
duplicate mail delivery when sending to distribution lists:
:0 Wh: $PMCACHE/$RECIPIENT.msgid.lock
* ! ^X-Deferred.*
| formail -D 4096 $PMCACHE/$RECIPIENT.idcache
That works fine most of the time, but not when the mailserver
is down. Messages can't be delivered, so procmail exits with
code 75 and messages are deferred. However, next time
procmail tries to deliver, it finds the Message-ID in the
cache and mark the message as delivered.
Thus, I would like to append some kind of "X-Deferred" header
I suggest you use X-Loop. It's canonical, it's well-documented
(see the procmailex man pages), and the header ought to persist
in this use. If you see your X-Loop, you know it's been seen
by your procmail setup and you can you can skip the cache check.

Thanks! I'll use it. However, I found another problem when trying to add the
header:
procmail: Program failure (75) of "/usr/bin/zarafa-dagent"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/bin/zarafa-dagent xesca"
procmail: Assigning "EXITCODE=75"
procmail: Match on ! "^X-Loop: $RECIPIENT(_at_)(_dot_)*"
procmail: Executing " (formail -I Delivered-To -A "X-Loop:
$RECIPIENT(_at_)topdesk(_dot_)com") | $SENDMAIL -oi -t"
procmail: Error while writing to " (formail -I Delivered-To -A "X-Loop:
$RECIPIENT(_at_)topdesk(_dot_)com") | $SENDMAIL -oi -t"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/home/vmail/msg.Mkh"
procmail: Opening "/home/vmail/msg.Mkh"
If I try to pipe the message manually, it works:
cat /home/vmail/msg.Mkh | formail -I Delivered-To -A "X-Loop:
xesca(_at_)topdesk(_dot_)com") | $SENDMAIL -oi -t
What could be the problem? How can I get an even more verbose output?
Thank you very much in advance.
