Hi Joel, thanks for your response, you solved my problem. But I still don't understand why ! :)
with : $ cat ~/.procmailrc LOGFILE=procmail.log VERBOSE=yes :0 * ^Message-ID: \/.* | ./curl_molene.sh $MATCH $ cat ~/curl_molene.sh #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/curl "http://url/alerte.php?messageid=$1" it works as expected. but with : $ cat ~/.procmailrc LOGFILE=procmail.log VERBOSE=yes :0 * ^Message-ID: \/.* | /usr/bin/curl "http://url/alerte.php?messageid=$MATCH" it does not work. Any idea why ?
