Hi

I am aware of how the basic whitelisting works from the docs on the web thus:

# whitelist
FGREP=/usr/bin/fgrep
FROM=`formail -x From:`
DEFAULT=/var/mail/cannon

:0E
* ? (echo "$FROM" | $FGREP -i -f $HOME/ok)
${DEFAULT}

However I need to do something a little different. I need to extract a customer header and look for it in a text file - so far so good. I then need to return a token from the file. For example, if my header contains 001 and the file contains:

001:fred
002:jim

I need to return the value "fred" back to my recipe.


Further to this, I also need to know if there was a match or not.

TIA
