Address ONLY Match/Variable Recipe?

I am looking for a recipe (for procmail) to grab any RFC-822 compliant
address (*) and parse ONLY the address, not the user's attached name, IF
ANY, into either MATCH or another variable.

I've tried one I had from a library, but it doesn't seem to work under
procmail 3.11pre4.  (It seemed terribly complicated, and for some reason, is
bringing the included rc's filepath as part of the string to match on.)

(*) Basically, this is to say either of these:
address <at> system.net
address <at> system.net (Nick Name)
Nick Name <address <at> system.net>

I need ONLY the "address <at> system.net" part of the samples above parsed out.

errrrr.  Formail to the rescue:

echo 'From: Nick Name <address <at> system.net>' | formail -rtz -xTo:

gives me:

address <at> system.net

Procmail Capabilities


	I have a couple things I'm not sure how to make
Procmail do, but have heard that it can do it.  First off
is there a way to make it so that a message is sent to
an e-mail address and procmail sends a canned reply w/
certain information in it (Say a counter that goes up
w/ every e-mail) and then sends the message along w/ the
other info (the counter in this case) to the user?
	Next, how can I make it so that when an e-mail is
sent to an address it is cc'ed to another address
automagically?
	One last thing, I figured out how to get procmail
to put a person's mailbox in their home directory but does
anyone know how to make popper (For BSD) use that as a
person's mailbox instead of what is in /var/mail?

		Thanks!

The .procmailrc files do not need to be world readable.  They only need
to be readable by the owner, and they can be owned by either the user
or root.

This is a bit off-topic, but I am curious about the RFC mentioned 
above.

I looked at RFC-822 and saw that an email address must look like 
this:

(word)*("." (word)) <at> (subdomain)*("."(subdomain))

Where can I find out which _characters_ are allowed in (word) and 
(subdomain)? I didn't see any reference to this question in RFC-822.

Have you looked at using multigram (from Smartlist) to do this?  It
should be able to do 'smart' fuzzy address matching in an obscenely
efficient fashion, which I'm guessing to be the heart of your spam
filter, no?

BTW, is that 200 lines of procmailrc or 200 address to be grepped against?

Re: valid characters in a domain name

   We recently set up our own DNS domain, and the folks at our network center
   told us that the root domains were starting to enforce stricter naming
   standards.  Host and subdomain names had to consist of [A-Za-z0-9-] ONLY,
   and they could not be all numbers.  This caused us some problems because the
   underscore was not on the approved list, so all of our PCs had to be
   renamed.

ProcMail Auto-Response...

Hello All,

I am new to the ProcMail world (as of last week) so forgive my "newness."  :)

I am using a Sun Sparc 20 running Solaris 2.4, and I have just successfully
installed ProcMail v3.11pre4.  I want to be able to have an email address
that automatically returns a pre-written email message to the sender.

I already have an email alias setup like: info <at> domain.com which just comes
to me directly.  But if someone emails something like: biginfo <at> domain.com,
I want them to automatically receive a pre-written email message.

I know a fairly simple recipe can handle this, I just don't know how to do
it.  :)

Thanks for any help here...

- Gary
