Hi all, I was hoping someone on the list could confirm for me what the proper format for the ~/.forward file is for use with procmail (and OpenSMTPd on OpenBSD).
Currently I have ~/.forward | /usr/local/bin/procmail but other information I've seen says it should be "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail || exit 75 #your_user_name" Which is correct, or is there a different format altogether that I should be using? --------------- Some context of why I ask about this: - yes, I'm a procmail newbie. - I've seen my current ~/.forward file (the first version above) works as expected when mail is sent to an individual user, however when I define an alias for OpenSMTPd that points to a list of users, mail sent to the alias is delivered to only a subset of intended recipients. So for an alias like: mylist: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],[email protected] An email to [email protected] will be alias expanded correctly by OpenSMTPd, but only some of the users in the list will actually get the mail (the users WITHOUT .forward file reliably get the mail, and ONLY ONE of the users WITH a .forward file gets it) I'm not sure how to work around this. Perhaps my .forward files contain the wrong invocation of procmail, or there is a bug in (my version of) OpenSMTPd. Any comments would be appreciated. :-) Sarah
