Obviously, this is a tricky bit of coding, a script generating
a script which generates a script. But what it does should
be straightforward, if you understand what it does. Aye, therein
lies the problem: how many people using this are going to understand
any of it? I have a number of concerns about it:
My account (login) name is:
Your login name is needed to identify your procmail
thread, and is also used for testing BCCs.
My hosting domain is:
Your hosting domain will be concatenated with
your login name to create the From line for forwards. For example,
if your account name is warfin and your hosting
domain is yoyodyne.com, then warfin@yoyodyne.com
will be used as the From line for your forwards.
My mail folder directory is named:
If what's entered here is a folder name, it
will be rooted from your login directory, e.g. "./mail"
which should work right most of the time. If it starts with a
leading slash, it will be rooted from root as an absolute path.
Procmail is located here:
Assert
csh as shell
Shouldn't hurt to do this. Leave it turned on
unless you have problems.
Enable
Logging
Debugging information will be written to a file
named procmail.log. Also a good idea, as long as
you remember to delete the procmail.log file once
in a while!
I want
to save mail from someone into a mail folder
Mail from this person will be saved, unless
it also meets the criteria for forwarding.
Their username is:
Enter as much or as little of their username
as you wish. You can enter their domain instead.
Name the folder:
Make
it a copy, so I can still pick it up with Popper
Nah, I'll
just use pine
Pop
a cap in 'em
I want
to save stuff with a certain subject to a mail folder
Mail from this person will be saved, unless
they already met the criteria for having their mail saved based
on who it is from, or meets the criteria for forwarding.
The subject is:
Enter as much or as little of the subject as
you wish.
Name the folder:
Make
it a copy, so I can still pick it up with Popper
Nah, I'll
just use pine
Pop a cap
in 'em
I don't
need no steenkin' BCCs!
Mail which is not address to the login name
you entered will be handled, unless it already met the criteria
for being saved based on who it was from or what the subject
was.
Name the folder to store them in:
Just
tag 'em with an X-Artless header, I'll deal with
them after I pick them up with Popper
Drop them in the
folder, and just leave the headers for Popper
Drop them in
the folder, I'll deal with pine
Pop a cap in 'em
Nuke 'em all,
let the deities sort 'em out!
I hate this bastard so much, do the same thing to them:
I want
to forward some stuff to somebody
Mail will be forwarded, unless it meets the
criteria for being treated as a BCC.
Their e-mail address is:
Enter their full e-mail address.
The subject is:
and
or
The stuff comes from:
The name of my folder is:
Make
a copy. Just tag 'em with an X-Artless header, I'll
deal with them after I pick them up with Popper
Make a copy.
Drop them in the folder, and just leave the headers for Popper
Make a copy.
Drop them in the folder, I'll deal with pine
Pop a cap

Filter
out IMG tags with perl
If your terminal emulator wraps what you paste
in, this one may not work.
Perl is located here:
Spoof mail to yourself, or have your friends do it.
If you used perl filtering for IMG tags, it would be prudent
to examine the generated .procmailrc file to make
sure that the perl rule didn't get wrapped or otherwise munged.
If it doesn't work, log in to a shell session again and cut
& paste the following code to disable filtering:
