Re: [opensuse] Procmail: Filter & Resend

Am Dienstag, 1. Mai 2007 schrieb Feris Thia:
I have a global (catch-all) account at my ISP. In my Linux box I need
to download all the emails from the account and want to delivered it
to local user's inbox. I've just learned about .forward and
.procmailrc and have no problem with Regular Expression.

How do I match an email's address pattern (username@xxxxxxx) from
RECEIVED field in mail's header and then resend it ?

Why procmail? You may better use fetchmail. This is partly supported by YaST.
What's missing is the catch-all case (multi drop mailboxes). This must be
configured manually in /etc/fetchmailrc. Look into the man page of fetchmail
for details.

Cheers,
