Subject: pass file via :include:
I would like to have a procmail recipie send out a message to the contents
of a file (many receipents, one per line).

I have tried varations of

    exim :include:/home/dir/file
    exim <:include:/home/dir/file>


which at best gets me a misssing or malformed local part (or a syntax error
calling exim)

It seems like I have to go thru a director in Exim, and so I set one up
like this.

custom_forward:
driver = forwardfile;
file = ${local_part},
no_check_local_user,
forbid_pipe,
forbid_file,
modemask = 002,
skip_syntax_errors


Which gets me the malformed local part error.

I get the impression from the manual that there must be some way to
accomplish this

Or would /bin/mail or some other utility be more appropriate ?

Thank you

mark
