Just a follow up to my last message, which might not have been very
clear. I think I want to do something from within the rc script so that
qmail runs like this:
qmail-start "|/var/qmail/myscripts/filter.pl ./Maildir/" splogger qmail
Where filter.pl would read STDIN, filter out words, and print to STDOUT,
in the hopes that qmail-local would pick up the rest and deliver to Maildir.
But this doesn't seem to work out. .. I just get filter.pl printing the
contents of the message to syslog.
Can anybody help me along?
