Dear all,
I am struggling to get my email processing just right.
The problem I'm working on now is that although I have my own domain, and
all email addresses are valid (user1(_at_)domain(_dot_)com,
blablablah(_at_)domain(_dot_)com,
etc.), I get them all forwarded to a single pop3 mailbox and pick them up
via fetchmail. (Fetchmail was having trouble with the pop3 server on THAT
host, but not the one on the other host. But I only have one pop3 mailbox
on the "good" host.)
Anyway, I get mail for me and family members. If a mail comes in for only
one of us, my existing recipes can handle that. BUT, if I get an email to
two or more of us, I need to make sure we each get a copy, which is not
happening with my simple system.
ALSO, if the email is not addresses to any one individual, then it's mine
(I register for websites with unique email addresses, like
company(_at_)domain(_dot_)com)
So, I am developing a solution, using a testbed as described in
http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~ts/info/proctips.html#testbench
My procmailrc file looks like:
---------------------------------------------------------
SHELL=/bin/sh
TESTDIR=${HOME}/test
MAILDIR=${TESTDIR}
LOGFILE=${TESTDIR}/Proctest.log
LOG="--- Logging for ${LOGNAME}, "
#Troubleshooting:

* ^TO_ally

:0:
* NANCY ?? ^^^^
* GARTH ?? ^^^^
* MANDY ?? ^^^^
* ALISTAIR ?? ^^^^
${TESTDIR}/DEFAULT
:0
/dev/null
---------------------------------------------------------
So, I set some variables, then test them. If any are set, it indicates
that we deliver to that mailbox (this is a testbench setup, so I'm using
temporary locations)
BUT, when I put my email message in:

---------------------------------------------------------
then I have two problems:
1: the DEFAULT processing is hit, but it shouldn't be
2: ALISTAIR gets one copy of the email, but MANDY gets two, and GARTH gets
four!
I'm hoping it's an easy one to solve, if you can help then I'd be vrey
grateful.
Cheers,
Alistair
