By putting a trailing slash on the name of the maildir you want it to
deliver it to.

Logging selctive info

Currently, I have VERBOSE set "yes". This feature does log lot of information.
All I want to see is the "Subject" and "Folder" information.

Is there anyway that procmail would allow you to log such selective info?
Can I customize the logging info like,

----
Subject: XYZ
Folder: work-related
----
Subjet: ABC
Folder: personal
----

Would such customization effect the "mailstat" command?

Thank you in advance for any help.

This "trusted users" is no hindrance. Copy /etc/sendmail.cf to $HOME,
enter $USER behind T, set up your own mail spool dir (create dir,
enter path in $HOME/sendmail.cf), and remove authwarnings from O
PrivacyOptions= to turn off the added headers. Format email with to:,
from: cc:, bcc, subject: and pipe into sendmail -i -t -v -f whatever -C
"$HOME/sendmail.cf" -O QueueDirectory="$queuedir"

This is useful to me to make email appear as if it was sent from a
web based email facility which I use (or rather, don't use for sending
because they're a pain).

My IP shows up somewhere in the Received-by:, is it possible to get
around that?

^TO or ^TO_


I have seen the use of this condition in many recipes. Both of them seem to
work.

* ^TOsomeone <at> place.com

and

* ^TO_someone <at> place.com

Which of these options is the recommended for use by the procmail developers?

The Received: headers are inserted by each recipient MTA specifically to 
facilitate tracking mail.

It's very useful for identifying the source of spam.

^TO_ came later as a tweak on ^TO.  The principal difference is that ^TO
can match an expression that ends in a hyphen while ^TO_ will not, so you
^TO_string will match only if the string is at the beginning of an element
of an address, while ^TOstring will also match if a hyphen appears
immediately before the string.

If you don't want a match if the string is preceded by a hyphen (in contrast
to a space, a quote, a left-side angle bracket, a comma, a colon, or a tab,
for some examples), and your version of procmail supports ^TO_, use ^TO_.

If you want to accept a match if the string follows a hyphen, or if your
version of procmail is too old to have ^TO_ (but not so old that it doesn't
have ^TO either), use ^TO.

Re: non-Western chars

For dealing with non-Western, non ISO-Latin-1, characters, I use the
following variables:

i	= "[a-zà-öø-ÿß\"]"		# lower-case ISO and "
I	= "[A-ZÀ-ÖØ-Þ]"		# upper-case ISO
x	= "[A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ\"]"	# mixed-case ISO and "
X	= "[^A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ]"	# non ISO values
Y	= "[^A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ:]"	# non ISO values and :

I use the " for ASCII-fied umlauts, such as u" or "u.

For what it is worth...

Cheers,

Re: Detect Mail Size

perhaps something like this (untested, of course!)

Charles, I'm sending the reply to the list also.

There is something wrong with the syntax of your recipe.
If you had it as...

| (formail -rt -I"Precedence:junk" \
 -I"FROM:<charles <at> localhost.localdomain>; \
 -A"X-LOOP:bobcats <at> localhost.localdomain"; \
 echo "Mail received") | $SENDMAIL -t

then the above line should have said

procmail: Executing "(formail,-rt,-IPrecedence:junk \
 -I"FROM:<charles <at>   [[ etc ]] "

So I think there must be a space or tab after the '\' character on the 
"formail" line.  Did you edit with "vi" and say ":se list" so you
could see the end of line?  If you say "grep Precedence .procmailrc |
