The best way is prolly to create an alias entry for every user like that in
your aliases db of your MTA.

Right, I'll see if I can work out exactly how those work ...   Not a
Sed expert, at least not yet ...

Ah yes, it was a typo ...

Thanks for the help.

Your spammer just has to change to appending [a-z], and you're back where
you started. Surely there are other headers that don't change?

Btw, writing straight to /dev/null isn't a good idea unless you're 
-really- sure you've got it right.

Grr IS THIS IMPORTANT? I think not, so why is it marked important?

Empty envelope from when calling sendmail

Hi,

We use procmail to filter all our mail. When sendmail processes mail, it
attaches a pseudo-domain ".PROCMAIL" and uses the procmail mailer. In the
procmailrc file we scan on subject and if there is no match, the mail is 
send back tosendmail using the rule:

:0         # Hand back to sendmail.
! -v  -oi -f "$ <at> "

Normally this has the following sendmail call as a result ( from the
procamil log):
procmail: Executing 
"/usr/lib/sendmail,-oi,-oi,-f,sender <at> fromaddress,recipient <at> PROCMAIL"

and this works.

However, if the mail is coming from <> ( MAILER-DAEMON ) , we get the
following error:

Oct 27 18:08:25 smtp sendmail[8725]: SAA08725: from=<>, size=7836,

how to cut off last part of an e-mail

I have a script that forwards a copy of all e-mail I receive to my
GSM-mobile phone (with the e-mail address 999888777 <at> sms.netcom.no)

The sms.netcom.no server sends me the e-mail divided in up to 4
SMS-messages each containing 160 characters.

Sometimes there can be just to many messages popping into my phone.

Therefore:

Problem 1:
- How can I forward only the first 100 characters of the
e-mail body to 999888777 <at> sms.netcom.no

Problem 2:
- Is it also possible to implement that the if the script detects many
undercores or dash'es  ( _____  / ----- ), it will cut the body from there
on? _____ or ---- usually indicates a signature file, which I am not
interested in receiving on my mobile phone.

And now a few questions:
    What if multiple lines meet the criteria?  
        The above assumes there's just one, or that you don't mind
        having a variable that contains newlines.

    Is the entire rest of the line to be treated as the value?  
        The above assumes 'yes'.

    Can the 123456 part contain ':' characters?  
        The above assumes that it might.

If you want to pass it to a text file...

    :0 cb:
    * some conditions here
    | sed -n -e '/^bla bla bla/s/^[^:]*://p' >> /path/to/file
