Yes, but only the entire shell script is all on one line (with
commands separated by semicolons instead of newlines). I'd rewrite
the whole thing into a .qmail file like this:
|exec > /dev/null 2>&1; 822field subject | grep 'whatever' && exit 99; exit 0
|forward other-address
Also note that the original request was for scanning outgoing mail as
well. .qmail files can't help there.
