Procmail doing my head in...

fractal

Hi all,

I've spent the last half hour trying to cook up what should be a really easy procmail rule.. But it doesnt want to work for me..

Pretty much what I want is:

if to address is somebody@somewhere.com
then pipe through script /usr/local/bin/myscript

What I have is:

:0:
* ^To:.somebody@somewhere.com
| /usr/local/bin/myscript

And then i tried:
* ^To:*somebody*
| /usr/local/bin/myscript

I also tried a few variations of the above but it just wont work..

Could someone plz point out where Im wrong.. ?

Thanks a mil!

Your recipe does appear to be correct. That may not be the problem however. A few questions:
1) Is procmail being called correctly ?
2) Have you been using procmail in that instance before ?
3) Does 'myscript' work ? If you cat a mail into the script does it do
what you want ?

If you put the following variables into the file which has your recipes
in it, it should provide some extra information that might help you:

LOGFILE=<file to log messages to>
VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=yes

If you still cannot figure it out post some of the log information and
answers to the above questions.

Try:

:0:
* ^To: somebody@somewhere\.com
| /usr/local/bin/myscript
