hello everyone

i would like to block the messages that comes with attachment .exe, .bat, and others
right, this is working...

other thing is send a message to user who send the file
this is working too

/etc/procmailrc

Quote:

| (formail -r -k ; cat /etc/virus.msg) | $SENDMAIL -oi -t -f antivirus

but, together, i would like to send a message to the real receiver

how can i do that?
should be something like

"| (formail $receiver) "... ??

can you help?

You can extract the sender to a variable like this: SENDER=`formail -rtzxTo:`.
* Make sure you avoid loops (FROM_DAEMON, FROM_MAILER, stuff like that).

you wanna mean:

Quote:

SENDER=`formail -rtzxTo:`
| (formail $SENDER ; echo "testing") | $SENDMAIL -oi -t -f antivirus

??

More something like

match a condition
SENDER=`formail -rtzxTo:`
| echo -en "Subject: some subject\n$(cat some message)\n" | $SENDMAIL -F noreply@yourhost -f noreply@yourhost $SENDER

That reply doesn't contain anything anyone can deal with.
Better post the whole procmail recipe and related error messages.
