Would that work with virtual users.... I have a default username for the account (dprice) and then several virtual username (the actuall email accounts)(deano, cathy)
It just seems to me that if I use the dprice in that line that it would look for .procmailrc in the /home/dprice directory... but if it doesn't match anything in .procmail where would the mail go at that point? Maybe I am over thinking the process but I don't want to lose any mail either. Would I be able to use the virtual usernames in its place... I wouldn't think so because procmail wouldn't know where to find its .procmailrc file. -- Thank you, Dean Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting Tanner Lovelace <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dean Price said the following on 5/15/04 3:25 PM: > > > Unfortunately, it is a hosting company... and I do not have that access to > the > > exim.conf file to make changes. > > > > My dir is /home/user/ > > > > under that is mail/domain/users/ > > > > > > I have determined however that I can read the exim.conf file. > > > > userforward: > > #!!# filter renamed allow_filter > > driver = redirect > > allow_filter > > check_ancestor > > check_local_user > > domains = ! lsearch;/etc/userdomains > > no_expn > > file = $home/.forward > > file_transport = address_file > > pipe_transport = address_pipe > > reply_transport = address_reply > > no_verify > > > > It look to me that as long as a .forward file exists... > > > > Hmmmm, > > > > If you can use a .forward, you can invoke procmail like this: > > "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -Yf- || exit 75 #youruserid" > > Just put that in your .forward (substituting the correct location > for procmail and making sure you put your userid at the end) and > things should work.
