Procmail filtering

Intimidator · 06-10-2007, 03:11 PM

how do i execute a script(test.py) on every new mail using .procmailrc?
the following code isn't working..

Code:

:0
| cat&>$HOME/temp_mail && \
python $HOME/test.py

In the above example i am writing the new mail to temp_mail and executing the script which takes temp_mail as argument..This isn't working..how can i fix this?

If you want the script ran on _every_ new message just place it in your ~/.forward, and use procmail elsewhere.

Code:

echo "|<path to script>" >> ~/.forward
