Create a file called "addresses" and put all the addresses in it, one
on each line. The following bash script maintains the last user sent
to in a file "lastsent". It then increments it (and wraps around to
zero) and gets that user from the file "addresses", and pipes stdin to
sendmail which sends it to that particular address.
Create a sendmail alias for the main user, which pipes mail to this
script. Or you can use procmail to do the same.
-----
#!/bin/sh
lockfile lastsent.lock
if [ -f lastsent ];
then
userid=$(cat lastsent)
else
userid=-1
fi
usercount=`cat addresses | wc -l`
userid=$[($userid+1)%$usercount]
echo $userid > lastsent
rm -f lastsent.lock
i=0;
for user in `cat addresses`;
do
if [ $i -eq $userid ];
then
cat | /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem $user
break
fi
i=$[$i+1]
done
-----
HTH..

There are no threads in a.b.p.erotica, so there's no gain in using a
