I don't have procmail on this computer, but I think I can give a rough idea of what to do. First, read the procmail man page about the flags. You'll want to clone the message and process only the header. If it's to your girlfriend and not spam (with negative regexp for spamassassin header line), then filter it. The following script should work, though you should doublecheck, as I haven't dealt much with multiline strings and I've never sent mail from a perl script before. #!/usr/bin/perl $myemail = ""; $notify_subject = "New mail!"; $header = /^(From|Date|Subject)/; open MAIL,"|mail -s $notify_subject $myemail"; print MAIL $header; close MAIL; Adapt to your own desires and needs. :) -- Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
