Procmail "To" Rule Help Needed

Skip-DMP · 03-27-2007, 02:36 PM

I am looking for a little help. We host a handful of domains, but I want to only be receiving email thru one of them. We have an old domain name which was in use several years ago but we still receive spam mail to it. While the domain name exists, I want to be dumping all email to the old addresses. Short term, I want to direct it to my spam account. Will this procmail rule work for me? Or am I missing something?:

procmail is a good ol' regular Unix-type filter. It expects to see one piece of mail per invocation. You can experiment by sending individual pieces of mail through it. Omit the

Code:

| /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi spam@mydomain.com

part of the rule, and the result will come to standard output, complete with an "X-Loop: spam" line, if the rule was invoked.

Experiment and have fun!

Hope this helps.

I have a single collection point for all "low" rated spam and go thru them about once each week to check for FPs. At this point my FPs are effectively nil, but I still continue to collect them in the event one of my users questions something. Here is my complete procmailrc file at the moment. It may be ugly and clunky. I honestly don't know. My plan was to place the above where I have indicated the series of ############'s:

# 12/18/2006
# Mail with a score over 12 is almost certainly spam.
# We'll just dump those.

So what happened when you ran test e-mails through procmail as a command-line filter?
