Re: question on batch email sending
In response to David Banning [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have a standard mailbox with around 40 messages. I want to be able to just send them all to someone, the same person, not as an attachment but as individual emails. I want to do something like; cat /var/mail/frank | someprogram [EMAIL PROTECTED] So that Frank can just get it into his regular inbox. I realize that I could just ask Frank to pop it off the server but then he would have to setup for just one occasion. Is there a way to do what I want? fetchmail was designed for this sort of thing. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Take a look at formail, which comes as part of procmail. It lets you iterate through messages in an mbox-formatted mailbox in various ways. In fact, here's a thread about it: http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/procmail/2002-06/msg00019.html Have fun!

Try going in to MUTT, tagging them att (;t) and then 'bouncing' then to the other address. That should take only a few seconds effort if you have MUTT installed and a few minutes if you need to install it. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That way the messages get forwarded to the user upon arrival, rather than on a schedule or with manual intervention. lane ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
