Re: trouble printing PS attached

Well, I am kinda new to the list, so I am going to throw what little
knowledge I have into this...Feel free to correct me if you know better...

The From line looks okay, though I usually keep my From lines like:

* ^From: .*fax-server

Also, the attachments are usually encoded before they are sent out. Thus
the body of the message will have to be decoded first. If you assume that
all mail from fax-server is the postscript, you can remove the second 
B ?? line. (BTW are you sure that works? The B variable is the body of the
message?). You can then pipe the message to a perl script which determines
the attachement name, decodes the document, then prints and deletes the
file.

I hope this helps. I am pretty new to this...

enable procmail within sendmail

Hi folks!

    I run sendmail  in a Red Hat 6.2 (firewall+HTTPD)  box as a relay to
a Notes Server in my internal network.
    Everything is fine, but now i have to do some redirections of some
users to other specific address; to acomplish it, some documents said procmail
is the best
solution; i created some receipes, but the point is that i cant make
sendmail run procmail entries...so the question is:
How to tell sendmail to read my procmail receips before deliver the mail to the
Notes server?

in sendmail.org help files, they said to use a line such
"mycompany.com    procmail:/etc/myreceip.rc"
in mailertable, but where should i put this entry, without disabling the
relaying?

thats my mailertable DB :

.mycompany.com.br        smtp:[100.0.1.1]
mycompany.com.br         smtp:[100.0.1.1]

100.0.1.1 is the address of the Notes server.

This may be a too simple question, i am sure...but i really read all
docs available and did not find anything to clear my mind...

Thanks!

Forwarding mail to external account.

hey all.

I need to forward some e-mails for a user to another mailbox (Yahoo
mail).but leave all of his e-mails intact on my server.
I have a list of "From" e-mail's which all off those e-mails should be
forwarded.

Now, I created another user on my server and used .forward to forward All
received e-mail to the other mailbox also.

I created a .procmailrc file in the second user home dir such as:
:0
* ^From: someone <at> domain\.com
! user <at> yahoo.com

And .. it doesn't work.

I know I can call procmail from a .forward file but don't know how.

My main problem is I have to keep all mail on the user mailbox and forward
those specified "From" e-mails.

will my recipe work for this.

TIA

Tom.

So it looks like you have set $SENDMAIL to /zmailer/bin/sendmail ?
Can you execute it from a normal shell to send mail somewhere?
Is this an executable?  
Is this file NFS-mounted?  

What log messages do you get with the "formail" recipe?  Same ones?

Try

* ^From:.*someone <at> domain\.com.*
! user <at> yahoo.com

Put this in your .forward:

You should try making a copy and delivering that to the other user, while
leaving the original message intact:

procmail problem...

This is an interesting problem...I am trying to make procmail my LDA with
sendmail. I make the changes to the sendmail.cf file (via m4 FEATURE( 
local_procmail ) ) and all looks well. I restart the sendmail daemon and
all of a sudden, anybody that uses the local delivery agent can no longer
recieve mail. Anybody that has procmail in their $HOME/.forward it works
fine for. ( I am guessing that is so because with a .forward file you no
longer use the LDA). As for right now, I am not using an /etc/procmailrc
file (I do have an /etc/mail/procmailrc which doesn't work now but it
shouldn't be looking at it),

Can someone tell me, given the configuration listed below, why mail is not
receiving correctly when I try to incorporate procmail into
sendmail...Everything looks right with the configuration...

Thanks,
Scott

First here is a diff of the original sendmail.cf and the new sendmail.cf
(the new one uses procmail....).

I don't know exactly how smartlist works, but there must be some unique string
somewhere in the mail that identifies it as a system message coming from
smartlist.

Find that string (which could be appearing in the msg-ig, subject or maybe
even in extra headers, beginning with X-<blabla>

Let's assume you found the unique string in the From header, and the string is
"smartlist". Build the following entry in your procmailrc:

:0
* ^From:.*smartlist.*
{
	:0
	/dev/null
}

Remake your sendmail.cf with the m4 FEATURE( local_procmail )
to make your sendmail use procmail to deliver mail to your local clients
aswell. Then put some rules in your global procmail config (usually
/etc/procmailrc or /etc/mail/procmailrc) to make procmail behave the way you
want it ;)

procmail automounting home??

I'm trying to set up a mail hub for my linux cluster using Redhat's
sendmail rpm which uses procmail as its mailer.  I find that whenever the
mail hub receives mail for a user, it automounts the user's home
directory.  I don't know if it is sendmail or procmail that's doing it and
was wondering if someone could answer this question.

I'd like to make whichever program is doing this stop.  I use the
/home automount feature in order to span several mount points under /home,
so I don't want to lose this feature.  But, I'm concerned that the mailhub
and the home file server will be swamped by NFS automounts.

Also, I don't want to lose the procmail and forward features.  To this end,
I've created on the mail hub an NFS exported directory where users' .forward
and .procmailrc files can be stored.  The .forward and .procmailrc files in
$HOME are symlinked to the files on this mount point.  If it is procmail
that's automounting home, then if I tell it to look here instead of
$HOME/.procmailrc, it should stop automounting /home.

I've tried changing the sendmail cf lines that invoke procmail specifying an
absolute path for the procmailrc file for a user, but that didn't have any
effect.

Thanks in advance.

Re: procmail automounting home??

Thanks for your reply.  I've started playing with this possibility.  So
far, no luck.  I'm trying to avoid recompiling :)

I've modified the sendmail.cf lines so:

Mprocmail,      P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=DFMSPhnu9, S=11/31, R=21/31, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=procmail -Y -m HOME=/var/procmail/$u $h $f $u

trying to redefine HOME.  I haven't tried redefining the Mlocal line yet.
Have that sinking feeling that I may have to look at code :(

Btw, how's Vandy?  I was a grad student there between '80 and '86.
