As I said above, I have been using preline to provide me with a Delivered-To header. There are several email addresses that get delivered into my inbox and I use this when I need to determine which address a particular email was sent to. (as you know, the To: header is not reliable for this) > • To make room for the new MIME-aware maildrop, certain, and likely obsolete > mail server interfaces (mail handed to maildrop with an mbox-style From_ > line, or with leading spurious blank lines) are no longer directly > supported; must use maildrop together with reformail. See the maildrop(1) > man page for more information. It looks like I could use reformail to get the same result, but there are no usage examples in the man pages. Is this the right format to add a Delivered-To header? DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/lib/courier/bin/reformail -A'$DTLINE' | /usr/lib/courier/bin/maildrop -w 90" I think the quoting will work properly. DTLINE should be expanded into the DEFAULTDELIVERY string prior to running the reformail command. I could also call reformail as an xfilter in maildroprc. Which would be the best way to do it? -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement? Manually upgrade your production database.
